[RWC2019][Pool B] Round 4 - South Africa vs. Canada (08/10/2019)

[TRF_heineken]

Wonder if anyone has the time to check how much the top teams took the foot of the pedal/relaxed or what ever in the second half.
Compare first half to second half scoring.
Or could it be a case of fatigue in the humid conditions?
Not sure what or why, but a clear trend is noticed

Well the roofed stadium also plays a part. I think yesterday's game was one of the most humid ones in the tournament. And you could see it when Malcolm Marx came on, we was soaked in sweat, in didn't even play a minute yet.

But yeah, the trend seems to be, smash them as hard and fast as you can in the first 20 minutes. Get a lead of about 25 points, and then gradually slow it down. Then second half, go through the motions, have a bit of fun, but also remain vigilant on defense.
