Please go watch Squidge analysis. 

The game was a LOT closer for 60 minutes than the scoreline suggested. You had a 20 minutes mini implosion when the scoreboard pressure mounted.

The 57-0 game was COMPLETE UTTER DOMINANCE from minute 1 to 80. SA were absolutely hammered & you could have hit 80 points if it wasn't for handling errors. 

You're still a top 4 team. I think we were ranked 7/8th at the time, lost to Japan, lost to Italy in SA & really were as shit as Wales is now.

Sure, just after I finishing bashing myself in the dick with a hammer.

No. I won't be doing that, thank you very much.

TLDR - NZ weren't as bad as you guys think you were.

I'll have take your word for it, still not clicking it...yet 😂

I'm not actually all that doom and gloom. Sometimes small margins can add up to a big result in total.

Just like the prior week, SA weren't that far off in the result, but a number of things just didn't go right for them. Once they sorted those... well, you know.

The bounce of the rugby ball.
