@_PhilCosta So many, including our own fans, saw our 3 x 2nd place finishes as a failure to get over the line, instead of recognizing it as an incredible achievement of consistent high performance.
@APC_Rugby Understand the need for the cash injection. But they should separate neutral venue game from the tour. 3 match series in SA or NZ and then separate 1 off at neutral venue (US, Japan, Hong Kong).
@bensmithrugby The same way you viewed AB's 2011 RWC final win by 8-7 against possibly the weakest French side in history, eventhough ABs were playing with 16 men for the full 80 minutes
@FrontRowGrunt Reminded me of 2013 Ellis Park classic. No. 1 & 2 in the world going at each other hammer & tongs for 80 min. No 2 throwing everything they had at it with ferocious intensity but ultimately No. 1βs class, composure & experience carrying them through. Great Test matches

@GregAFC Errors came in 2nd half when ABs exhausted from some intense bok pressure continual big hits and maybe paying the price for the intensity they put into their 1st half attack.
Have a look at the Kriel try - poor defense by Carter but not a cover defense tackler in sight.
@insiderugbymark@haribaldijones@grubbr_stats Is altitude really a factor these days? If you look at ABs results at altitude recently I would say not. Or at least it's not an advantage to the Boks.
