13. Jesse Kriel 7
Scored a brilliant try in his first test – showcasing his attacking skills – and put in the necessary work on defence. Heyneke Meyer was heavily criticised for his selection, but it turned out to be an excellent decision.

12. Damian de Allende 6
A strong presence in midfield and good in defence. His option-taking let him down on occasion – particularly his failure to pass to JP Pietersen that resulted in a missed chance.

Look, deAllende is our best attacking 12 since…well since a damn long time
