[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 155801"] Look at the 36-0 pool match and you see how SA capitalise on the other side's errors. SA will only lose if they succumb to complacency, partivculrly in the back. I don't think this will happen. 1. SA have kept their cool and responded well under pressure to date. 2.They have some very experienced old heads in key positions to focus the match towards their strengths. 3. The boks pack is their passion and their power. They will be too proud to achieve anything less than parity with the English, and they will be aware of how strong the English are. If they don't do the hard work SA will lose. These guys will put in the hard work. I really, really want England to win and anything could happen (eg. Lewsey's try last week). But barring great luck and a complacent opponent i can't see it happen. Versus Aus we had clear advantages which could win the match (scrum and forward power). Versus France we knew them inside out, have had multiple tight games in the past few years and had beaten them in the last tournament match between the two. England don't have anything like these small advantages on the boks. [/QUOTE]
