Then Henry took away from the field Cruden, harsh and inconsistent Carter's replacement (the director in his absence was felt, and how ...), and replaced by newcomer Slade, and threw into the fray Boric and Afoa in place of Franks and Donnelly.

Seems to be made, but here are the imponderables. Guests (with a man less) should be in goal with Mitchell and above 2 points. Three minutes after badly losing a ball on Beale 22 meters, and if the wrong socket makes it bounce in the face, and the Springboks pemette a strike action that ends with the punishment of the infallible M. Steyn. But the Springboks are not able to maintain possession of the ball in the final seconds, and time expired, to allow Wallabies a set piece from 56 yards. The specialist is out of Giteau, who is in charge of the bar Beale, thanks rarefied air of the Highlands, the central pole and set the final result on 41-39!
