Winnig the 3N was a good start for Jake and the Boys. I must say though, that the final game against the Wallabies was a sad affair. Poor handling, little penetration from either side's backline... very sloppy stuff. Grinding Rathbone into the Shark Tank turf was an added bonus for the Boks though.
All three Southern Hemisphere sides have got work to do. The ABs especially look very a sad side, comparing them to their predecessors over the last decade. I just have this sense that all three sides have a lot more to offer, even Aus with their aging side.
that said, hopefully the Boks can take this victory forward on their tour of Europe. A win against Ireland and then England could see us up to third in the IRB rankings, where we belong.
