If Ackermann hadn't thrown away the number one seed I think they'd have been favourites - they were great and altitude is a huge bonus. Tactics better in second half to just boom long kicks and make Dagg respond from his own 22.
They have to hope Hurricanes lose next week to regain chance of home final i guess?. Rensburg and Jantjies both outstanding and the team quite youthful. Hard to think why Springboks have been struggling recently as on this evidence they'll be a top three team minimum for a few years yet.
No way the lions are 20 points better than the crusaders when you factor out the altitude and travel. Crusaders are not the team they have been all the same.
there should be a couple of weeks between the last match and quarter finals, considering the potential advantage. If you are going to play conferences, then give the away side a breather for the travel.
