[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 1056590, member: 12225"] Definitely. The Boks did everything they said they would do to us...dominating us in the set piece, defensive line forcing us into mistakes, aerial kick and chase pressure on the receiver. The Kiwis could only achieve what they wanted to impose on the Boks for the first 3 minutes. Test could have gone either way. I thought the Boks could have argued for a suspected high tackle in the last 5 minutes and had a penalty shot at goal which would have put them up by 5 points...then we would have had a real cracker of a finish. If the Boks had dug in deep in those championship minutes and won then their would be a major post mortem for the All Blacks and Fosters coaching ability. I think the All Blacks need to approach the game this Saturday with the perspective that they lost and ask questions how to win the set piece battle again, how to have better ball retention, how to respond to box kicks, better game management etc. Less smiles and more soul searching.
