Most influential player – Pieter-Steph du Toit

Rating: 8/10

It was Du Toit’s tackle early in the second half that led to the Boks’ first try, scored by wing Sbu Nkosi, which brought the team back into the game. His tireless work in contact and on defence were an integral part of the Boks’ armoury, even after he was moved to blindside flank later in the match.
