@Smuts On Horan, loved how for several years after his knee Oz played him everywhere but 12, much to their disadvantage. But by Bok semi in 99 he was back in his rightful place and was close to MOTM in Oz win.
Ridiculous. I remember him playing 10 and 14 at test level.
Shit he was good though. You’d pick him at 12 in an all time oz XV

You'd pick him at 12 in an all time world XV until Nonu came along. Phenomenal player.

Better than Nonu imo. At least that’s my recollection.

Your recollection is wrong.
That is Justin Marshall-esque "fairness".
My dander has been re-raised.

Good to see them talking about the Boks line out tactics and ref interaction. This proactivity is what we have been lacking for years.
Nice guys finish last. Unfortunately these press conferences are an extension of the modern game.

@Nepia didn't they miss four? Didn't Piri with his crook hammy or groin miss a few ? Also, Beaver came on and played a blinder. He made at least one line break that should have lead to points but his defence was spectacular.
I was talking about the French getting kickable penalties.
I remember the French getting one kickable penalty with about 15 to go and butchering it, can't remember any others, at least not in the second half??
-
As I've said Joubert's decisions favoured France, although as has been said I recall only the one shot at goal on the aecond half (that missed).
But that was pretty much had down to how the ABs backed off the offside line.
They were determined not to concede a penalty. And rightly didn't.
