The beauty, and attraction, of sport is that it is so unpredictable and can leave one feeling on top of the world, but also down in the dumps, depending on who you support and who wins.

It is even better when you just never know who is going to win, and right now in world rugby there is so little separating the top teams.

I said it during and after the Springboks match at Loftus Versfeld that there was nothing between the two sides and that whoever had won would have felt it was deserved, and the other side would have felt disappointed, and that is the case again today, following the second Test between the teams in Durban .

The margins between winning and losing at the top of the game are so small and thats why I agreed with Ireland boss Andy Farrell when he said: I honestly do not care who the best team in the world is. You would not want to separate these teams and there are probably three or four other countries who come into that conversation.

World rugby is in a good state when we have this sort of competition.
