That is a problem. Last night seemed to go someway when we outscored and seemed to control the 2nd half a lot better than the Boks.

Also you could count on one hand the number of times the AB's have lost to Italy by less than 50 so statement still stands, that is a terrible score.

Another poor performance by the wallabies and good win by the boks. They may not be great to watch but it's effective. Still tough to lose after scoring 2 tries to 1 and still going down by 12 due to a complete lack of discipline. Kudos to them though for not giving us 1 penalty within kicking range in return. In a complete turnaround from Eden Park this time our scrum was strong and completely out muscled them in second half but the lineout losses meant we turned over far too much ball in first 40.
