@pakman seems we had the same impression of the mauls.
Read your scrum analysis above. Not sure I completely agree with your scoring but your scrum stood up very well in your 22 and was foxy in protecting possession outside of it. Overall though, giving up just a single penalty, winning all your put ins and making the scrum a mess on bok feeds is a big tactical success.
Not sure how you can say your lineout was on top. If the Sanzaar stats can be believed you won 13 and lost 1 (stolen at the front?), Boks won 24 and lost 2 (Marx overthrows, iirc.)
As an aside it’s very interesting seeing how many lineouts the ABs gave the boks. A lot of kicking to touch. Why the shift?
On scrums, of my four stages Boks only had edge in second, with Eben and Du Toit behind starting front row. ABs had six put ins out of nine.
On lineouts, ABs were winning their throw more easily and the sole 'miss' was when ball went through jumper's fingers but regathered by Scooter.
Think we disrupted one of Boks and one was a 'no jump'.
Seems part of ABs kicking strategy was to kick to touch. Not quite sure why.

@pakman definitely was a period early in second half when Bok lineout went to shit so stats were a bit surprising. Agree that we didn’t put as much pressure on your lineout as you did on a few of ours. Then again, you didn’t have that many.
Understand what you’re saying about scrums I think. Just think you were under a lot more pressure than us most of the time. Like the reverse of LOs.

Seems they ranked all the refs through the RWC and Brace was dead last.

They would all be better Gardeners.
Wouldn't be able to keep rows or straight lines though... -

Ryan was asked if he was happy with the refs performance.
"It was a big test for Andrew Brace, Im sure he learned a few things, as did we".
Slightly less subtle than the usual euphemisms we get.
Whenever you see a coach (in this case Razor) say "discipline let us down", or mention "ref's interpretations", just read " that fluffybunny with the whistle didn't have a fucking clue".
Sadly they aren't allowed to say that, so I will.
One of my biggest bugbears in Rugby these days.
"Discipline let us down"
Translation: The refs perceptions/ interpretation of our discipline let us down. Video evidence shows our discipline was actually fine.
"we have to be cleverer with the pictures we are showing the ref"
Translation "we have to over exaggerate our clear releases etc, because this gobshite cant be trusted to officiate fairly".
100%. I said this earlier. Are we getting shafted by the refs? Hell yeah. It's bleedin' f@cking obvious. Some of the RC and YC we cop are beyond ridiculous. But we need to be wiser to this. If we keep doing the same old shit, we'll continue to cop the same shitty calls. Take one step back on defence. Don't attempt to jackle, numbers to the ball and drive over. Tackle lower etc.

The ball bounces on the ground which indicates clear seperation. He is in the act of scoring a try so yes he is travelling forward.
No try
There is also no evidence the ball was grounded on or over the line.
So even if it wasn’t ruled a knock on because of some law, the fact remains that the ball was on the ground, the Bok player had been tackled and lying on the ground he still played the ball. Rugby is a game played on your feet….
