[QUOTE="Jer1cho, post: 458390, member: 32618"] Ok then, please explain how you are supposed to use your opportunities when you make 60m into the opposition's goal area, only to keep having the ball turned over illegally? It's a mute point saying 'you should have used the opportunities' when half the time you can't even get to that point thanks to illegal play either slowing down your ball, or stealing it. So please, do explain. What South Africa do, and do well, is force teams into making mistakes, so that we can capitalise on infringements with our accurate goal kickers. We did just that, only the infringements were never blown. Pocock was allowed to do whatever he wanted. He came in from the side a couple of times (The first which resulted in Australia's try), and nothing happened. On two occasions, hands were used in a ruck, but nothing happened. He goes off his feet, and then gets back up and still contests, but nothing happens. Tell me, please, how is it any team is supposed to capitalise on that? An Article in The Australian, a daily newspaper in Sydney... [/QUOTE]
