They call for the Boks to beat Scotland by more than 30 points and when that doesn't happen, they ascribe it all to Bok boredom. I beg to disagree. A very ordinary Scottish team was in the lead until late in the game. They might have actually won, absent a dubious yellow card and some silly offences that made no difference to the game. We were outplayed at the breakdown, the scrums and in centre play.

Be concerned, be very concerned . NZ is already looking settled and purposeful. Australia will learn from the Lions' series, just as we did in 2009. This could be a difficult RC.....there are far too many journeymen being talked up in Bok circles. The S15 isn't telling a great story either. Sure the Bools are doing ok, but their limited model is usually productive. Our other traditional leading teams are imploding.

I don't think it's just ennui playing Scotland....we are a lot weaker that we were at the RWC, in almost every forward position......and our test proven backs are two years older.
