There's more that can be added...
6. Etzebeth's turnover on Genia was not really legal as he held on as tackler and never released. I suppose if you're constantly on the back foot these sorts of decisions go against you.
7. The Springboks' main focus this year has been the breakdown, hence the specialist Scottish assistant in this regard. They took some flack for the lacklustre performance in this area after Mendoza and worked hard on it this week. Australia won't always suffer like this.
8. Which goes to show as long as your forwards are taking a beating no matter how good your fetcher is (Hooper) his influence will be largely negated.
9. Australia perform very well even if their forwards only get parity. Tonight some glimpses could be seen despite a hammering up front. Again, things will get better.
10. History counts for nothing. Especially in the modern game where teams play one another several times a year.
