Planet Rugby produces a strong Team of the Tournament, with 9 Boks included. I would have had Snyman on there instead of Nortje and Barrett is vastly overrated. But it’s a good reflection of the real contributors. No Duds and the Reinach, Wiese bashers are eating egg


Wonderful to see a Bok flyhalf head and shoulders above the rest

Suaalii has been a mixed bag, but no 13s really stood out. At 12 Ikitau makes a strong case too even though he had a less impressive finish to the tournament. Funny that they excluded PSDT, for a media side that is almost sacrilege. Reinach, ehh, he's still pretty slow on the decision side for me but then again, no one really owned the 9 position in any of the sides. Sad reflection of the state of 11s that a fullback needs to be shunted in there. Carreras is always a bundle of energy and NZ's two last round 11s Clarke and Fainga'anuku actually brought something they were missing on attack with the stale Rieko. Bit too late though. Many positions had too much rotation for anyone to make a strong case.

No was was Nortje the best 5 - Skelton was far better as was RG


Reinach was not close to being the best - Argie 9 and Roigard were far better
