Looking at this, much of the credit for last Saturday goes to Brown. I hope SA fans have enough pride to put this kind of thing in perspective:
When the Springboks decimated the All Blacks with a stunning 43-10 victory in their latest Rugby Championship clash in Wellington, the strategic fingerprints of Tony Brown, their attack coach, were all over the match. This significant win not only shook the All Blacks with their heaviest Test defeat but also threw the championship race wide open, with a mere two points separating the top teams. Meanwhile, in another close encounter, Argentina edged out Australia 28-26 in Sydney, keeping the competition fierce and unpredictable.
Murray Mexted, the former All Blacks number eight, didn't hold back on praising Brown's contribution. "Absolutely. He’s a very, very astute man. Technically good, but he’s also got vision," Mexted acknowledged, reflecting on Brown's profound impact on the game and his high esteem for him from their days at the International Rugby Academy of New Zealand (IRANZ).
