The results of the last three games between SA were as follows:-
Wellington = South Africa wins by 2 points
Pretoria = New Zealand win by 2 points
Wellington = Draw
That indicates a very par performance by the two teams. So nobody is under-estimating the AB's at all. I in fact indicated above that a New-Zealand-SA final is a real possibility. Lets not get overboard - the fact is that I do think the Springboks may beat the AB's in the round robin game - but that is also going to be a narrow win by the winner.
It may perhaps be better to lose against NZ in the pool game because the road to the final will eb easier in such an event - since the winner will meet the in-form England team in the semi-final.
