Crushing defeat gives South Africa pause for thought

Three-zip it was. But not in quite the way predicted by an arrogant minority of boorish, uninformed one-eyes who tarnish the good name of South African rugby and do a disservice to the even-handed, knowledgeable majority who support the Springboks. So, to that minority, here it is: Yes boys, the try-count was three nil to the Lions at your Ellis Park stronghold in the third test, and, in the process, South Africa's world class strength-in-depth was laid bare as being more hype than substance, with Peter de Villiers rudderless outfit smashed by a side which equalled the Lions previous biggest win over the Springboks set by the 1974 "Invincibles".
