[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 872754, member: 70871"] well I'm not sure about Argentina. But you have a point. I couldn't say if the series win in June made the Boks think they were better than they actually are (or maybe they couldn't conclude much about themselves as they realise how poor the opposition was?). Hard to say. Maybe the lesson is that beating abysmal opposition in test rugby like the current French team is no yardstick of anything. I think top sides have very high standards. They won't settle for a win. They also demand individual and collective performance with it. And they will keep playing with the foot down for 80 like NZ until they do. [/QUOTE]
