It was one loss Mozart. Boks are still in transition though & we will see if the clear vision & execution can be achieved in time for the RWC.

M ozart is correct though , skills honed as kids through juniors and ITM S15 then ABS all have a clear path .Just check Maccaws uncle mapping out his future path to being not just an AB but a great one.Then you have all the coaches from juniors up all singing the same song with he head coach waving the baton .The boks in the Ireland game seem to have decided that mere penalties are no longer worthy of their new style and only tries will do as befits the ball in hand style of play [ unless its poor Wee Wullies hands that is ...hehehehe...] .You wouldnt show another team that sort of disrespect even were it the Ekatahuna Senior Ladies XV ! I cant believe the boks waved away the easy 3 pointers until 3 pointers would no longer suffice.

We have for masny decades played a balanced game of forard power and good attacking backline play.
Over the last decade thanks to the influence of the Bulle we lost our way and adopted a game plan focused soley on defence and kicking with the oddd flash of brilliance and the rolling maul.
Recent matches have seen us return to this more balanced game plan.
There is nothing mysterious about it or new. Simply going back to our roots.Our provinces are doing likewise and if Moz you watched our schoolboy rugby you would scrap the comment you made and say hey what in the world am I talking about!
How amny tries are the abs scoring against toip sides. Mallet and Mitchell agreed the wee abs are becoming predictable. They go wide without earling the right to do so and fences are reading them.

Err Beeno, the ABs are wining so in that respect they are predictable. The Boks are less "predictable" in that regard.
