[QUOTE="bernardo, post: 321334, member: 42352"] Do not be too harsh on the frenchies , the score is little bit big compared to what happened on the field. Catastrophic first 15 minutes from France , lack of focus and defense , that cost us a lot at the end (a score of 25-17 would have been more fair). SA has won the match on the support , too much times frenchies were without support and that was their main weakness. Again frenchies were not burned but not focus on what they had to do. on a lot of rucks, i thought there was quite limit attitude from the boks (tacklers not letting go tackled player and not really on their legs) but again if you have 3 boks for 1 frenchy, the referee will let it go thinking that SA deserved to win the ball...If we were more focused on supporting the ball carrier , we would have not lost so much ball and referee would not have let play SA so easily. Good coaching from SA for the scrum, i really thought that French scrum would have taking other the SA scrum in second half but the SA scrum came back into the scrum fight and played equally with the french on the second half. Our line out was awfull, it is a shame to lose so much balls on that. Great and serious display from SA , intelligent game all along , very good defense and great field occupation with kick. I'm not very objective for that but i really think that we should always beat SA cause they do not have a surprising game. It is simple and clinical and at least we should be able everytime to fight equally on basics with them. in the meantime, it was a good fight to watch, i had my pleasure watching it and frenchies , even with SA largely ahead, stayed quite able to score and to come back ...Overall i do not have the sensation that we have been destroyed on this match and the score is too large regarding the level of the 2 teams...like it has been said , we played like headless chicken ;) We forgot our brain in France !
