[QUOTE="Incredible Schalk, post: 165549"] Absoloutely, its easy for those of us that arent from South Africa to underestimate the importance of what they achieved at the world cup. As rugby is South Africa's national game its vital they are successful, 4 years ago they were the laughing stock of the rugby world which led to the team and Straeuli being crucified by the media. The rebuilding job could have taken 10 years, instead it only took 1. The world cup was just the icing on the cake from one of the most remarkable upturns in fortune in rugby history. Its easy to say that All Blacks dominated pre world cup but South Africa deservedly won the tri nations in 2004 and only Mealamu late try in the deciding match in 05 denied them another ***le. On balance it was a completely deserved ***le for the Boks, especially for Jake White for completing four years at the helm of the toughest job in world rugby. [/QUOTE]
