> reido -- sorry mate, but I don't know which games you were watching where you think Aus looked the better "team". You must be an aussie! Aus were comfortably beaten in both games by more disciplined teams. The more adventurous team, yes, but the better team, definitely not. As we have seen by the Bok's rise to no. 1, winning test matches is all about being clinical and disciplined, not necessarily adventurous.

I believe it is all relative. SA are ranked #1 - they are on top of the table, above NZ and Oz respectively. A team cannot be transformed overnight. I would expect that they will be well on their way come the Grand Slam tour. They should not lose a game there. History has also showed that away games are harder in the Tri-Nations. Australia was very close both games. They looked the better team both games, just some discipline let them down.
