I think both teams capable of so much more.
Saffas relly fast line speed in defence rattled the ABs early - simple fact is that ABs dont like the physicality that the saffas bring and some nthn hemi teams can.
Leaving the best 10 in the world at FB was clearly just tinkering pre WC - mounga is average 10 as was showed by the couple of charge downs in the 1st 10mins.
SBW was smashed on his first hit up and bloodied his nose - well played and executed SA.
I think ABs were definitely lucky to get a draw but was obvious they were trialling players -
SBW and Mounga not up to AB standard imo -
Kolbe is a little weapon for me pound for pound best player there is...
BTW the stats at the start say the kwagga is 80kgs... surely this isnt correct?? hed have to 90+ at least...??
Well played boks - i think your starting centre pairing worked very well - not sure who was at 13 but good defender... didnt see much in attack though...
good game.. ref missed one or two things that def helped AB cause... maybe bit of apyback for all those years of cheating saffa refs screwing the wobs... :0
