The best thing about beating South Africa

Rugby Tri Nations 2007: All Blacks v Springboks

The game itself will soon be forgotten but for me the most pleasing aspect was that we had to come from behind to beat the Springboks – ideal experience for a World Cup.

I would have been concerned if we won this comp in a canter. Hopefully the Aussies can show some steel and provide another test for us.

Also on display for anyone watching was the superior fitness of the All Blacks, which definitely helped them get over the line. When we scored our last try the AB’s were running around like it was the first 20 not the last.

I should note though that inferior fitness will not be an impediment to beating the All Blacks in the World Cup though. Desire and smart play can overcome this.

But overall – good stuff
