[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 821647, member: 55747"] I thought about that too! Couldn't help remembering their opening game in the RWC. The entire world watching, they were losing against Argentina, two yellow cards, one for their captain, but they kept their cool, got their **** together, regrouped and won the game. I'd like to see a stronger team put them under pressure but i'm not sure which team that would be. If you look at their games in the last RC, they started losing several and had quite close first halves (against RSA and Argentina come to mind), but they kept their cool and both RSA and Argentina completely lost the plot in the second half. You can argue the difference lies in physical aptitude. I find it hard to believe the difference is that big at this level. Has to be mental to a significant extent. They saw this was a weakness (10 years ago), worked on it, and now they are, or at least appear to be, miles ahead of the rest in this aspect. [/QUOTE]
