Well hello everyone, welcome back to the DSPN round table. Andrew Mulligan and for Martin Devlin. He'll be back next week and with me John Day as Purr. Hello, Johns. And Mark Watson Water, how are you, mate? Well, I'm tired.
Um a little bit disheartened. I've got to say after that performance on the weekend, I found a little bit embarrassed actually. Um it's hard to actually have to admit that South Africa are just a better rugby playing nation at the moment. Um but I don't think we're helping ourselves either.
It was the worst Father's Day ever, wasn't it? I mean I couldn't pick myself up after that. Five AM I went back to bed, sent my son back to bed and didn't get breakfast in bed or any presents. Nothing. It's just the longest Sunday on earth. I just hated it when we do it to ourselves. That's the thing, the last two tests I feel like we we can compete with these guys and we were ahead on the scoreboard and then it's just individual errors, they compound, and all of a sudden you've lost again to the world champs and they've got bragging rights, and fair enough too, they're just so direct, so brutal, so good at set pace, and that's winning Tess rugby, isn't it?
Are we gonna are we gonna eat humble pie like Neil Barnes said would have to in the post match, Mark Watson?
Think it's about eating humble pie. I still think there's some skullduggery from the South Africans. I still do think they walk at scrum time. I still think that they do come in on the angle. I mean, this photo's been circulating. This was the photo, and I'll just have to show it on my phone. This was the photo that of the South Africans scrummaging before the penalty try. Now, if you have a look at that there, that's just as the feed's about to go in. Now you can see the South Africans angling absolutely every different direction. And I was really I'm just disappointed that Dave Rennie didn't keep that narrative up during the week. It is about psychological warfare. See, I was talking to a a very smart guy, uh John yesterday, who uh different John, by the way, John, but you're also gonna credit.
I thought you were going to give me some credit.
Why he said smart.
Okay. No, you are a smart, very good looking man too, John. You are. But we we we were just sort of saying I think one thing that Rennie uh that Rasmus Erasmus has been very good, he has really driven this narrative constantly about how good their scrum is and how they're just so dominant, to the point now where I do genuinely believe When they are being refereed and there is a collapse, it's easy for the referees to go, oh, it must be the opposition because South Africa is so good. Where I think we've got to continue to get in there and say they're good, but they're doing it illegally. And I think we need to keep putting that pressure on. I think we need to keep playing that game. And when Dave really started to back out of that, I thought, here we go, we've been the nice guys again.
And I think we've got to stop being the nice guys.
