[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 651877, member: 59145"] I understand what you're saying and I can appreciate your opinion but I do think that your opinion might be biased before you even started, if you look at the tries today from South Africa they certainly were created by good vision and skills by the outside backs. All sides try to create space for their backs by dominating up front, this tactic is so central to rugby that if a team doesn't adhere to it they cannot play rugby. I would content that Aus today did not perform well because none of their forwards have the ball carrying ability of the Saffers, meaning that they never had front foot ball, and their backs never had a chance because they were out-muscled up front. In other words physicality up front is necessary for all of rugby and that doesn't mean that South Africa (especially at the moment) doesn't have the creativity to cross the whitewash. tl:dr: South Africa will always contend up front but that is not how we finished the game off today.
