Man-of-the-Match: Siya Kolisi

Rating: 9/10

One can’t believe this is the same player from a season or two ago. He was simply magnificent. He played a direct role in three of the Springboks’ four tries, and scoring one himself after a stunning midfield intercept. For the first try he ran brilliantly down the left-hand touchline, drew two defenders before putting centre Jan Serfontein into space to crash over. During the Boks’ final try, scored by Elton Jantjies, he turned over a ball by ripping it from a French player and ran valuable metres before off-loading in the tackle to the supporting Jantjies.
