We have a case here of total misrepresentation of the type of rugby to be played to win the WC. Forget about scoring of tries - just concentrate on penalties. Don't pass, just kick the sh!t out of the balls.
There has been no change in rugby played since 2008 - so play stampkar rugby at all costs. The SH country with the worst record in the quarterfinals has been South Africa playing the same rugby as advertized and supported. We one - but it was desperately close.

the rwc 2007 team's game pattern is light years ahead of this drivel we are seeing here.....just look at the numbers. the state of rugby in nh is a problem but that is in some way making our mindless rugby look a lot better than what is really is.
its the biggest crime against humanity to see talented players like habana and co being reduced to being virtual tackle bags and kick chasers.....
we can compete on talent alone but this rubbish is not true bok rugby....in many ways there is a huge segment of sa coaches that is suffering a rwc 95 hangover with the negative mindset of how rugby is meant to be played and that will never change until sa has a foreign coach....
the rwc 2007 was by far the most balanced team we have ever produced and the game pattern we played was legendary we had no equal but since then the game pattern has devolved into the quadmire we are seeing now again....against a second string welsh side we played into there hands and where by all accounts extremely lucky to have scraped through.
