Well, what did you chew over of this game? The Springbok ordinal stringers performed awfully healed indeed, against, arguably, the completely uncomparable football game players on the celestial body. Actually, this could be termed the ordinal stringers by now, because the top 22 Springboks are man refreshed and different 6 are on the injury index. That's 28 top players, which just about formulate up 2 teams of 15. The close on the list, were the unit sent all over to Australasia and of them, no more than than 6 have ever contend at this height.

Johan Muller did an special job, as improvised captain, after Bob Skinstad's debt and he genuinely led by first of its kind. Muller had with the sole purpose in the past stood in for AJ Venter, at captain, in the final records of a Sharks lucifer and Venter had, in turn, stood in for an unsound John Smit, so it is unbiased to say that Muller had no material experience, at state chief of the team, at this stratum.

The Springboks could not realistically have hoped to tap the favourites, but did especially in good health to enclose the Kiwi attacks and understate their rating opportunities. Indeed, at fractional time, the All Blacks led by a markedly slender margin, with the oodles at 12 - 6. The Springboks defended same demons possessed and the All Blacks essential have been to some extent goggle-eyed.

Again, the lame was damaged by indigent decision making and it is finished a insolvent decision, that the All Blacks took positive aspect and scored a extremely brushed try. The washed out paper for Wannenburg, was besides a bad decision, mega as McCaw was indictable of exactly the same misdemeanour, but was not carded.

While it cannot be said, that the ref was evenly responsible, for the result of this game, it does particular yet again, the need of honourable referees, at this stratum and the inconsistencies in their single interpretations of the activity. This is a extremely niggling factor and with the World Cup in freshly a few weeks time, let's anticipation that the best winners, are not but those that the refs smile upon. Their decisions and weaknesses, could have a tremendous influence, on what should be the classic test, of the optimal football playing nations in the international.

The ultimate ten transactions of play, saw the New Zealanders hurriedly wake up and put points on the board, finish off next to a mark of 33 - 6. This could and peradventure should have been a whitewash, with New Zealand being awaited to swimming kick the 'Boks, by far more than points, but it shows the fortitude and uncovering of the ineffectual Springbok team, to have prevented a activity.

Ruan Pienaar had a advanced game, this week, as did Murray, Pietersen and Cronje. Muller, van der Linde and van Heerden worked like-minded Trojans, but Hougaard was extraordinarily disappointing and Paulse was incessantly out of configuration. Olivier as well did not impress. All in all, they flabbergasted some family next to their gutsy show.

This brings to a close, the South African campaign, for the Tri Nations cup and sole one light object. Next Saturday Australia and New Zealand will chase the final result, to the alias. South Africa cannot win the award this year, but have their sights set on a far large present - The World Cup.

It is a undercooked quick look indeed, to see the guide of the losing team, beam so broadly, but Jake White has masses to smile nearly. South Africa have an excellent prime team and enough depth, in the add up to of replacements, to build pick rugged. Injury is the sole factor, that White cannot control, but with him prudently having unwearied the big boys, this will excitedly be attenuated.

Indeed, South Africa have an great providence of snatching the World Cup and their closest rivals will be New Zealand. Some of the chaps conveyed to Australasia, have showed that they may even be assessment of promotion, to the World Cup subdivision. It will be interesting, to see who the final squad is. This group will be formally announced, on the 21st of July. One article that White has achieved, is a exceptional soften of players, near the submit yourself to from the old stalwarts and the raw enthusiasm and natural ability of the youngsters.

The hottest dissipated likeliness on the World Cup are as follows.

New Zealand - 2/5

South Africa - 5/1

France, Australia - 10/1

Ireland - 14/1

England - 33/1

Argentina, Wales - 50/1

Scotland - 200/1

Italy - 500/1

Samoa, Fiji - 1000/1

Tonga, - 2000/1

Romania, Japan, USA, Canada, Namibia, Portugal, Georgia - 5000/1

Time will tell, but let's not forget, near is standing one much crippled to be played, in determining the victors, of the Tri Nations game. Will the All Blacks, or the Wallabies triumph?
