[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 967628, member: 55747"] Wasnt their toughest opponent either, hence my point. I can see how you disagree, but that is not the point. Most tier 1 teams need to win one "big game" to qualify. Exceptionally two (arg,france.eng case). Those gaes take a significant toll. Japan had to beat two tier 1 nations, one of them being the last game group game for them. South Africa's schedule leading to the QF game allows them much to be much more rested. In fact, South Africa losing the opening game to New Zealand (accidental, as in not planned) could very well be the best thing that happened to them. Their end of the bracket is as good as it gets.
