[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 596515, member: 40658"] Typical! Nothing to contribute before the game, or nearly the entire tournament, and now after everything is done and dusted, you write topics like this, and try to bask in the glory. Well, I'm going to disagree with you on this thread. And also, because this topic, has been a discussion topic [I]ad nauseam[/I]. Here is my disagreement. This isn't how the Boks play. Our strategy changed for this game, because we had to take the gamble of winning with 4 tries. If HM didn't have such a good winning record this year, he also wouldn't have taken this tremendous gamble. No coach would have, as it would have put their career in jeopardy. This is the first time I've seen a bok team trying to run from their own 22 nearly every 2nd time they were in their own 22. It's a risky strategy, and it doesn't always pay off. We had nothing to lose from this match, and everything to gain from winning with scoring 4 tries. Comparing this game to other games won't help, as this was a once-off type of performance. [/QUOTE]
