The Springboks lost to an organised, disciplined and well-oiled All Blacks machine.

The Springboks lost to an organised, disciplined and well-oiled All Blacks machine.

The Boks played to their full potential but our opponents had a better plan than us.

I am once again reminded of an old cliche: "It is not how you start but how you finish that matters the most."

Francois Steyn has learnt that one good game doesn't make you a great player but you learn from your mistakes and I feel sorry for the boy. The big question is where do we go from here and it is not going to help us to cry over spilt milk.

I feel sorry for the team that is going to Sydney and Christchurch because they are labelled a "B" team and that is not good for their confidence.
