Recently there was talk about Ellis Park being the spritual home of the Springboks, well I think that may have been confirmed with the 53-8 defeat of Australia, that absolutely no-one could have predicted, including me, who embarrasingly said that Australia would beat the boks 17-10 in a prematch competition.
But even though it is the biggest winning margin against Australia, we will still end up 3rd in the Tri-Nations.
But, at least we had one great game...
