[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 965463, member: 55747"] I agree with you about the currie cup, but I don't buy the rest of your argument H. I could buy it on a non-world cup year to explain our performance during the mid-year and end of year internationals. But not on a world cup year. The first thing that came to mind when i read your post was Japan. They are the closest comparable and although they don't have to play TRC that should fade out given the time we had between TRC (short version this year) and the WC. They are performing. We are not. The more i think about it the more clear it becomes. All of this, ALL OF THIS MESS, would be a non-issue if 4/5 players would have left the locker room focussed on the first game. Hell, not even on the game, just the first half. That's it. We can sugar coat it the way we want, twist it, turn it around, the lot, but had we won the first game everything else would have been thrown under the table. Ledesma would have accomplished his goal and we would be "ok". Simple as that. It is true that such a mess exposed other problems/issues, but there's no way around it. Those 30 minutes were devastating. [/QUOTE]
