The last victory was not built on constancy. It was a last rush by a team at bay that took many gambles that barely paid off. Nothing from a foundational game platform, no strength exhibited over the course of time.
The victory was earned from the massive input of an element of surprise. A one shot game with no tomorrow.
Basing recurring victory on bluffing is a difficult art SA rugby can not perform.
SA rugby were in an emergency to produce one result to break an awful streak of defeats. Just as the last game circumstances dominated SA rugby. No mid term no long term vision, only the emergency of the next game. And a result to get to keep pretending.
SA rugby are overwhelmed by their desire to impersonate what they are not. Saving the face is their common bread every day.
SA rugby once again demonstrated by their failure to secure a win other than by tapping punctually a limited bag of tricks. SA rugby have no roots, they are anchored in nothing.
As an expectation, comments over their performances are going to move as fast as the incapability by SA rugby to establish themselves.
Today players may not be quota players, the next game they will.
Today the delusion that SA rugby could be something instead of nothing. Tomorrow, the demonstration they are nothing.
The most telling lesson, if one since it has been taken for ages, the compliance to take the appearances at face value with no perspective.
One victory and there is no past.
