We're going to lose.

It's been a steady decline for 40 minutes. We can't handle their runners from deep, our pack is losing the battle up front and our line speed is gone. We defended very well for a long time and they could break us down. But our energy has been sapped.

We are terrible. The springboks would beat us out the gate by half time.

A different ref and we have the ball up their end from taking out a player in the air ages ago.
