positions where it was closely contested -
brodie under lady elizabeth, retattlick had a real strong game all round the park, but lady elizabeth had an error free game worked just as hard plus i think he won every lineout for the Boks??? o_O
alberts just under luatua - alberts defense was immense, but luatuas abilities with ball in hand both in crashing it up or playing that link role coupled with his workrate which was relentless on his blindside flanker to do list saw him win it easily, but alberts still gets a special mention.
juan fernandez lobbe under McCaw - both had a great captains run, but McCaw did evrything better, even stealing one of the pumas lineouts. McCaw being involved in nearly every single breakddown was huge, im pretty sure when McCaw came of injured he still mangaed to slow down the pumas ball so great was his presnece.
habana under savea - habana was pretty quiet considering how much of a roll the Boks were on, would have expected more, but instead we got another solid perforamnce from habana. saveas involvment gave him the edge though, i love how savea is always looking for work and putting the defnece on two minds.
