South Africa vs New Zealand review

Australia had 70% possession, South Africa made 121 tackles to Australia's 48. Powerful stuff. The South Africa defence has again proved supreme, having disrupted the All Blacks, they now contained the Australians superbly. Eventually they will have to add an attacking platform, perhaps they have one but haven't been allowed to show it. On the plus side their counter attacking is possibly the best ever. The speed of thought and excellent execution, first from Burger and later from Jaco van der Vesthuyzen, suggests a real belief in themselves. And of course they have Habana to finish, I just love to watch real speed on a rugby pitch. When you add the intercept tries they have produced this season we know that South Africa's defence will put the points on the board. It remains to be seen whether they need an attack.
Australia have a lot of regrouping to do, they are becoming a little predictable. George Gregan puts the pass out to a runner coming back in, then when space is available they spin it out. All very correct, but when you are constantly going backwards there will never be an opening. They still have good players on the pitch, they just need to add a little bit more dynamism to match South Africa and New Zealand. A new coach and fresh legs on the European tour could do them some good.
