Perhaps the most fitting candidate for Man of the Match was referee Ben O’Keefe. I thought he had an exeptional game, especially considering the scorching heat on the officials. Has there ever been such a hullabaloo about refereeing fairness before a Test match? Probably, now that I think about it. Putting pressure on the referee pre-match is as old as the game itself and was an art perfected by Eddie Jones when he was coach of the Wallabies.
If there was one moment that perfectly encapsulated the pride this country should feel about the Springboks —the heroes that two years ago gave this troubled country such unbridled joy — it was the tandem effort of Siya Kolisi and Lukhanyo Am in valiantly preventing Robbie Henshaw from scoring a try.
