RSA 32 - Italy 10

South Africa finally won a game.

I assume Maxxi will be mightily pissed somewhere and singing "We are
the champions" with not only his mates, but TOTAL STRANGERS.

That's not the shock result of the weekend, the Wallabies almost upsetting
the
Scots surely is.

Makes me proud that the Wallabies can be thought of in the same vein as the
great 1973 Australian side

Oops. I think you'd better read that line again Walt. Viper is taking the

Do the South African fans feel this tour was a "one too many" and not done
properly, ie players tired from the season of success they have had, etc?

It does seem a bit of a shame after such highs to have such results.
Then again England has had enough "tours of hell" to be honest, often
without the successes!

The frank truth is yes, a lot of our players look tired. FdP who I
rate as South Africa's key player looks nowhere near his best.

But these are the players we sent and you saw what happened to our
"2nd" stringers who should be less battle weary.

Well we lost one Test during our victory over the Lions and we lost
one Test during our victorious 3N campaign. I'll take one loss to
France on a victorious end of year tour, capped off with a squashing
of the 6N champions.

Success!
