Chased kicks hard and put in some good tackles.

A busy performance … he put pressure on at the rucks and mauls, and made a few tackles, but wasted good attacking ball with a silly grubber kick. Off at 45 minutes.It was a good showing by the stand-in No 8; he controlled plenty of restarts, carried strongly, and contested the breakdowns. He made a good charge down, and run, which nearly led to a try.He worked for the full 80 minutes, making several tackles, carries and cleans. Very solid showing again.

He came on early for Le Roux and performed superbly. Jumped well for the high ball, chased kicks and sparked several attacks from the back. Was full of energy and also tackled well.Springboks Download our app and read this and other great stories on the move. Available for Android and iOS.
