Cheers John, but even I am not that confident. I actually think that the teams are fairly evenly matched.

The difference between the Teams seems to be mental. England are very confident of their ability to win games, while South Africa seem more content not to loose. England see a sniff of a chance and go for it, South Africa just seem to too cautious. Intrestingly in the one game so far where they have gone for the Jugular (Cape Town) they won. But In Durban and Jo'Berg, too often they missed the crucial moments to attack. (England shoulc never have got close to winning in Durban - and that was down to South Africa's failure to attack when they had a huge advantage)

What has happened to McKenzie, he has to be a better choice than Dippenar or Amla?
