You scored more tries.
But where the real gap exists is
is understanding how to win matches in specific situations and what you need to underpin that ability to win those games.
And they identified that going back to the classic parts of the South African Springbok game, the South African mentality, was the way to beat you.
And, you know, to have that, people talk about you have to have your onboard computer when you're on the pitch.
Key players rise to the occasion, recognize opportunities.
And that's what some of your guys like Love and Roy are learning, the ability to recognize when you have to play in a certain way, when you have to tighten it up.

Line out
They get a better team despite the ongoing weaknesses because they are going for this offloading game and when they get it right and when they hit space, they can hurt anybody with the attacking play that they want to produce.
You just feel at times it's one arm behind the back because they can't rely on that first phase ability to get over the gain line early and then unleash the runners you have who can score tries against anybody, as you proved against South Africa, who've had an amazing scramble defense.
They've had to because you guys are constantly asking them questions.

Yeah, but I want to be without that lineup ball off the back and standing one or two of your back rowers out in midfield to get to really bash up because you're not getting that sort of go forward in the centers at the moment.
Without that, you are restricting yourself.
So you're coming down to individual flair and you do have some fantastic individual attacking talents.
And yes, should we be looking at the two really poor tackles?
Of course you would do because the opposition will now try and exploit his obviously favourite way of tackling, which is go high, not low.
And these are the sort of things you're learning about players in the white hot intensity of international rugby.
