[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 967798, member: 40658"] That was also our very first match in the tournament, and we didn't have a warm-up prior to the tournament like we did this time. This is also a knockout match, and I suspect that teams will be less risky in play. Also we have had a good week and a half of rest/preparation, and it looked like Japan had some real tired bodies out there in the second half. Also, I think the Springboks are one of the fittest teams at this tournament, and I think other teams have underestimated the gas that is left in the tank by our big guys. Like PSDT, against Canada he played the full 80, and in the 69th minute we made a kick downfield from our own 22, and PSDT was running full speed after that ball, like it was the first minute of the game. Again, it seemed like we took our foot off the gas in the last 3 games we played, and I have a suspicion that held back a bit in what we can do. [/QUOTE]
