15 Zane Kirchner 6.5
An efficient, solid performance – combined well with Habana and Mvovo in the back three.

See the Zane Kirchner sidestep is still not fooling anybody. #ARGvRSA

14 Lwazi Mvovo 7.5
Good in the air, fielding up-and-unders and brilliant skills for his try in the 30th minute.

Meyer is being proven wrong by all these replacements from last week which we all wanted. Mvovo, Lambie and Nyakane are outstanding

13 Jesse Kriel 6.5
His day was all about defence, but looked good the few times he went on the attack.

De Allende and Kriel is very quiet tonight due to the fact that Matfield is standing in their place and taking all their ball #SSRugby

12 Damien de Allende 6.5
Also good on defense, and good interplay between him and Kriel.

Give DeAllende some @EnergadeSA he's been a bit quiet and we want the Hulk!! #springboks

11 Bryan Habana 7
As always, worked hard off the ball and added to his try tally with his 58th for the Boks.

Beautiful finishing from Mvovo. Have he and Habana switched? Havana scores on the right wing, Mvovo on the left.

10 Pat Lambie 8.5
Controlled the game brilliantly and was calm and composed. Must be the favourite for the flyhalf position going into the World Cup.

Well played tonight @PatLambie – tops. And love how you keep your iPhone strapped to your bicep just in case. #ARGvRSA

His service to Lambie was uncharacteristically fast. Enjoyed plenty of quality ball from his forwards.

All over the park as usual on defence. Great tap pass in the movement that led to Mvovo’s try.

7 Willem Alberts 7.5
Definitely not 100% match fit, but his presence on defence and attack seemed to scare the Argentinians.

Significant 64 mins for Willem Alberts & Serfontein on at 12 now for de Allende. Has he done enough & will Meyer still look at Frans Steyn?

6 Heinrich Brussow 7.5
Getting back to his best form – a constant menace at the breakdowns.

@JudgeRugby haven't seen the stats but would be surprised if Brussow wasn't the top tackler.

5 Victor Matfield 7
Great work at the lineouts and some effective runs on attack. Better than Lood? Not on current form but he does bring leadership.

Matfield at outside centre. As a Bulls fan, I've been dealing with this for like 1'000 years. I'm tired of it now 😔 Let me be free?

4 Eben Etzebeth 8
A complete turnaround from his below-par performance last week. Set the tone with his cover defence tackle in the 2nd minute.

But all credit to Van der Merwe and Lambie, who were both fantastic last night … Etzebeth probably my MOTM though. World class!
