[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 815788, member: 55747"] I'd like to ask white, and the south africans here, how much would your opinion change if 1) The lions would have won SR's final 2) You would have won last game against Argentina I am asking because, at least in my book, both results had a lot to do with luck. The lions could have played a slightly stronger team against Jaguares which would guarantee them a home final. And about the last game, i believe we played better but the scoreboard shows you paid dearly for all the kicks you missed (which you generally do not). I am asking this because sports fans (not just rugby fans) are extremists. We go from "the best team in the world" to "worthless lot that can hardly tie each other's shoe laces" almost instantly. Australia went from being TRC's champions and world cup finalists to a laughing stock in less than a year. South Africa went from losing by 2 points to "the greatest rugby team in the history of the game" to commentators worrying about the writings on the wall. I am a bit like that too, but it is easier to see things when your team is not involved, allowing you to have more perspective. I don't think RSA's situation is as dire as some people believe. You guys will be fine. [/QUOTE]
