Although Kolbe's try clinched it, it was the engraving that got me. Completely lost the plot in the pub.

Ja that first scrum certainly changed my attitude early.

Two English lads seated beside me bought their flights and tickets after the semi finals and were seriously gutted at the way their team was bossed around but they cheered loud and hard for the SA at the end.

Kiwis and Sards want the All Blacks to play against a weak Springbok team.

So many highlights
Marx made quite an impact, had a hand in both tries
Sous coming on and tackling everything that moves
Duane is made of granite - if it wasn't for him I'm not sure we would have kept them out when they were camped on our line late in the first half
Am's face when he chased that kick from Mapimpi - he knew that was the game

That's a good point. All the whining about kyle sinkler going down... two of our player had to leave the field, and those who came on were arguably better. The depth in that squad was/is amazing. Marx and even more so Mostert were the unsung heros of that final imo.

Mostert is a very underrated player. Allround skills, not the power of Eben, RG or Lood, but I have never seen him play a bad game or a game where he was quiet.

Marx was utilised well of the bench, I feel his line out throwing was not as good as Bongi and maybe he got a bit complacent.
