But we have to give credit here as well.

South Africa, you talk about them coming down and the kicking side of it.

South Africa made some really smart adjustments.

Look, they kicked a lot.

What did they do?

35 kicks.

They had a kick-pass ratio of under 3 to 1.

OK, so they were very much get the ball and we saw it a lot.

Get the ball, carry to contact, set up either a box kick from Reinach or van der Berg when he came on or out.

A lot of kicking from Sascha Feinberg as well, that first receiver.

So that's their MO.

They went back to tight.

But what they did really well was...

was the All Blacks with the skill of trying to catch the ball over the shoulder and putting the body in.

They were really smart.

It was just, they'd run shoulder to shoulder and then just sort of step in.

So again,

I know we're going to talk about coaching a little bit later on and maybe coaching reactions.

But the fact is that this is a really well-coached South African side that saw what the All Blacks are doing.

It's like, right, how do we get around this?
