[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 816111, member: 20605"] They should have won the first match v South Africa as well but the lack of intensity in the last 15 minutes cost them, and it almost cost them in Salta last week. Simplistic yes, but fitness and conditioning is a large part of the problem. That intense period at the beginning of the second half culminating in that great run by Moroni really took its toll. By the 50 minute mark, when Sanchez landed the penalty goal to close it to 22-24, Los Pumas forwards were really sucking in the big ones, and continued to do so for some time; that is when the All Blacks struck with tries in about the 53rd and 55th minutes. However, mental conditioning is also important and when they conceded those two quick tries. Los Pumas heads went down and they lost heart. When they tried to dig deep, there was nothing left either physically or mentally, and the All Blacks went on to score three of their eight tries in the last 15 minutes of the match. [/QUOTE]
