[QUOTE="silent_shadow, post: 201898"] I can't believe I stayed up to watch such a horrible performance from us. England were much better and we were pretty lucky to stay so close towards the end. That scrum was an embarrassment to SA and so was that idiot tighthead that kept conceding penalties and got sin binned right before half-time. I still can't get around that decision to kick for posts with under 10 minutes remaining and needing 7 points to win. And then when we get another penalty, just in front of the halfway line we decide to kick again with even less time left. Seriously, why do people ever try kick from the halfway line. It's a huge gamble that's only worth 3 points. Francois Hougaard (or is it Gouhaard?) was lucky not to be replaced. He couldn't pass at all and everything else he did was average. Wilton Pietersen, Cecil Afrika and Martin Muller were the only bright sparks I saw. I'd also love to know why in the 1st half we kept kicking the ball away instead of keeping it in hand when we clearly had a superior backline. It's for the best that we didn't go through, NZ would've made mincemeat out of us. I'd also love to know who between the 2 of them has the better scrum. [/QUOTE]
