Mccaw and Hansen agree the best team won. 

(see Hawka, 3 IQ, Moola)


Hansen says the set piece ball was poor in

 the first half. "The lineout ball in particular 

was terribale


Hansen also says he does not have a problem 

with the penalty against Messam being awarded

 Aery realistic assessment by all.   What worriees me is the fact that we were not up to the same standard in the second half as we maintianed in the first half.   That is mentioned by Meyer as well - but I think it has more to do with players running out of steam than with anything else.  
That made the AB's look very good in the second half.  
In essense I think Meyer will have to look atthe selection criteria again and see where th real second half problems were.   The question remains - should the players who ran out of steam be retained - should they rather be benched and brought on at say minutes  55 to 60 - should they start and be replaced earlier.   I think that issue will sort itself out in teh EOYT and Super 15 next year.
