"There were a few contributions from guys that came off the bench that made massive differences. Frans Steyn put a grubber through that got them stuck back into their 22", said Rassie.
"Francois Louw gave a penalty away when he just came on to the field, and I thought, 'Hell, OK, maybe that was the wrong call that I put him on'. Then two minutes later, he got the vital turnover inside our 22. Sometimes things work out for you, and sometimes they don't.
"A guy like S'bu (Nkosi) got a chance today. There were times in the game where he got found out, but there were certainly times when we had wonderful opportunities, and he played really well.

It is clear that Nkosi was a liability on defence. He had some good touches on attack, but England would certainly target his wing in the final.
If Kolbe has not recovered perhaps shift Willie Leroux to wing where he started, and put Frans Steyn on the pitch. Another option is putting Leroux on the bench until the end of the game when it starts to open up.
Frans Steyn is the best tactical kicker on the pitch, with his grubber an example of this.
Pollard can do up and unders, but his tactical kicking game is not his strongest area.
