Yes, but this team beat SA just a few months ago and the players were selected from games between state squads. I thought they looked quite good in the preparatory tournament against both NZ and SA. So, how come the 70 point turnaround? Something definitely smells fishy to me, logically this does not make sense. Did SA deliberately sandbag the southern hemisphere tournament? Did we lose a whole team of stars somewhere? I guess we find out on Friday when we see how England goes against SA.Unfortunately you have to wonder if it is this approach of who has a contract vs who is in form. there are players who are weeks back from injury selected While talented kids with no ‘super rugby’ contracts carving it up in club grade

70 point turnarounds don't 'just happen' to be fair. It's pretty diabolical, even at this levelWe are talking about teenagers here Hawko.
SA scored a a few tries off a couple of missed tackles down the blind-side, and the Aussie lads had to chase the game, made more errors, dropped their bundle and maybe some of them gave up for a while.
It's going to happen sometimes with young players. I don't think there needs to be any sort of conspiracy.
