The normal objective approach is applied here - so nobody would be able to really cricize my assessments.
15 - Lambie 6 Positional play was excellent - but he missed a high kick under pressure
14 - Habana 7
13 - De Villers 8
12 - F Steyn 6 Defence excellent - nothing much on attack
11 - Pietersen 7 Outstanding break and try. Could have had a second one.
10 - M Steyn 4
9 - Hougaard 7
8 - Spies 7
7 - Alberts 8
6 - Coetzee 7
5 - Kruger 6
4 - Etzebeth 7
3 - Beast 6
2 - B Du Plessis 7
1 - Du Plessis 6
The replacements were very questionable. Werner Kruger - 4
Strauss - 4
Daniel - 3
Pienaar - 6
Olivier - 4
Steyn's main problem was his goalkicking and also his other kicking - that one going over the dead ball line was really the pits. Other aspects of his play was acceptable, but it is impossible to give ny mark higher than 4.
When Kruger and Strauss came on our scrummaging became hugely questionable. We are lucky we have better props than him and Strauss did not do himself any favours today.
Daniel was on the field - or was he? He is definitely not up to standard on international level. Same applies to Olivier - who also was basically not really contributing anything.
