Enjoying this so far (haven't finished watching the full video), but great to hear John Smit's insights into the 2007 WC Final.

To this day I can't believe how lucky we were in 2007. To win a world cup by beating (almost not) Fiji, Argentina and then England does not feel worthy of a world cup. In the end we cannot chose our opponents and the end result is all that matters but I thought that we actually played better rugby at the 1999 and 2011 World Cups even though we lost. In 1999 we lost with that Larkham drop goal at the end of an epic match and then Australia went on to easily defeat France.

Yup. 2011 it was. Then the oz game we tried the ball in hand thing and couldn’t win the game even though we dominated the stats.

We were cr@p

Absolutely. We were outstanding leading up to the QF and Final. But somewhere the wheels came off. So Pissed, we are much better than yesterdays game. But the Sharks put us under a lot of pressure..
