I'll call it "idiot bets and the art of losing money"

After a second viewing :
- DH was very good, one brain fart (which led to Am's try) and one missed tackle on De Allende aside.
- RM ran his backline perfectly but he made two big blunders (one pass to PSdT when the ABs were putting a lot of pressure on the Springboks, and one brain fart which led to Mapimpi's try). He did not stand flat like BB (but was it the latter's fault or a disastrous Foster's tactic ?) which negated the rush defense.
I think this combination is worth another chance though I'd like to see what RTS or JB could bring at 2nd five.

@cgrant I have a different take on the brain fart, he bailed out on the kick and tried to take it up and set it right into his forwards. I'd rather see that than a shovel or charged kick. It went wrong but I don't see it all as his fault. I expected him to have many more brain farts and being caught well behind his forwards.

He didn’t end up getting fended like he didn’t exist like what happened to Ennor though

Clarke should have just taken the ball into contact to allow Mo'unga to be free to kick. It was two errors resulting in a turnover and try.

On a second watch I realised what a bloody great game to watch it was as well - there was some serious quality in that game and the Reffing was great too. Think the angst which built up after all the losses clouded my enjoyment on the day.

I think it was Sam Cane or Foster who made the comment that the AB's were trying to relax a bit and not snatch the ball. Seems to have worked as the passing and catching was far more fluid and deliberate.

That's why at the time I thought Ka Mate was the right choice.

Good point. Drawing on their deepest history perhaps?

Kapa O Pango tends to wind the ABs into a higher level of excitement. That can lead to a failure to execute

To be fair, it was an illegal turnover.

Only illegal if the ref calls it. We can't depend on the ref to make the correct call, especially at the breakdown. We need to take care of our own business, which was good to see at Ellis Park generally
