It really wasn't. They got the points during that advantage. Being held up over the line and an astonishing last 37 phases where the difference. It was bitterly disappointing, but it wasn't a choke. Or else the word choke has no real meaning.

If thee was a choke it was in the first 20 minutes.again. Grand Slam match v England..por fist 20 mins where we went 6.0 dow, South Africam match...poor fist 20 minues with lineout in severe bother and finally on Saturday...13 0 down after another poor start. IAew we just poor starters or does neveres hit us at start? The vthree big games this year and we tank in the first quarter. Definitely a pattern.

Last two times played a semifinal the match was basically over after 20 minutes. I don't see any reason to think it won't be like that this time as well.

And its over......im not angry at all, a third place defeating England will be marvelous.

What amazes me about our rugby XV is that the years pass and the players don't get one bit smarter. They live making dumb penalties and are tactically very inept (play narrow when they should play wide and viceversa). Our sevens team players have absurd rugby IQ compared to them. 

 

Probably a coaching issue at grassroots levels.

These were the semi-finals in truth. The other half of the draw has essentially been a plate trophy

Not joking, where ya...
