So before you all jump out of your skins, I know it is a 4 match series.

Can we honestly call it a 4 test series when only 3 games are played in SA.

Saturday is a must win for us because if we don't, then technically the ABs have won 2 out of 3 games on SA soil and would then take home the advantage.

Despite our win on Saturday, the many moans about the reff, we did take our chances but our defence nearly let us down.

What can we do if don't have our scrum dominance?

I for one hope the curse of the calabash doesn't strike again.

Stemsaam ... many down in ME are saying its a 3 test series in SA, Baltimore's about the money.

That Baltimore thing grinds my nuts. There hasn't been much in it so far. Boks dominated the first 55 minutes of the first test before overdoing the scrumming for penalties nonsense. Had we used just one of those scrums to score a try we would likely have won, the ABs were under enormous pressure. Second test likewise until we started kicking too much, which allowed them back in and we were probably 3- 5 minutes away from a draw at the end. ABs had our defense well beaten numerous times. Both teams will make adjustments, it's a good old tactical arm wrestle. Should be a great third test.
