Re: Du Toit reveals Boks secret Tactics for World Cup Final
It’s would have been much more of a hurdle for the Boks as the AB’s bet then in pool play with a degree of comfort . Nah. Rassie's genius was getting to Japan 8-10 days before anyone else. Most teams have a poor patch 2-3 weeks (even 4 dependent on team dynamics) into an extended away tour. By the ...

Re: Du Toit reveals Boks secret Tactics for World Cup Final
Around the 30th minute England really had a good spell. They launched phase after phase of attack. The Springboks defence held. Vunipola at one time was driven back in the tackle from Marx and Mostert. I haven't seen the Springboks tackle like that except in the last minutes against nz in nz for a R...

Springboks in 1987 a serious challenger
All the talk of cups wins. Got some youtube footage of Springboks '86
The Springboks did not compete in the first two WCs but some footage of the Springbok backline at the time of the first WC show they would have challenged.

Re: Du Toit reveals Boks secret Tactics for World Cup Final
England deserved to be in the final! They had a convincing win over nz in their semi.

Interesting and Elton did an excellent job. England's planning wasn't as on as their semis against nz.

England cleverly exploited the...
