[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1097523, member: 39190"] The thing is I expected an AB backlash after losing the 2nd test to Ireland. And then nothing. Still not writing them off at all. Everywhere on media I see predictions of "Boks to be too strong" but we've seen countless times how we lose games despite obvious forward dominance. All it needs is a combination of any of these very likely situations: - a ref that doesn't award us a raft of 3 pointers at the scrum - Pollard having an off day at the goal posts - any sort of lapse in defense as you know the likes of Barrett, Jordan, Savea et al will pounce - us not scoring tries/ converting opportunities- as we know you don't beat the All Blacks without scoring a few 7 pointers yourself [/QUOTE]
