15 Damian Willemse - 4.5/10 - little to no impact. His kicking for territory is poor.
14 S'bu Nkosi - 6.5/10 - Tried to get involved, average. Not much opportunity.
13 Jesse Kriel- 5.5/10 - Never a stand-out player, did some basic stuff.
12 Frans Steyn - 4/10 - Time to hang up his boots, especially his long-distance kicking ones.
11 Aphelele Fassi - 8/10 - Exceptional. Limited opportunity.
10 Elton Jantjies - 5.5/10 - Patches of brilliance, and amateur moments.
9 Cobus Reinach - 6.5/10 - Good in the loose, but a bit slow to the rucks.
8 Jasper Wiese - 7 /10 - His best game so far.
7 Kwagga Smith - 4/10 - Nowhere to be seen. Out of his depth.
6 Siya Kolisi (captain)- 6.5/10 - Solid game. Competing at the breakdown ok.
5 Lood de Jager - 4/10 - A passenger. He is a bench player, not a starter.
4 Eben Etzebeth - 7/10 - Another good game. The rock of the tight5.
3 Wilco Louw - 6/10 - Started well, but faded as the game went on.
2 Joseph Dweba - 6.5/10 - A good game that he can build on.
1 Ox Nche - 7/10 - As with Dweba, solid with potential to get even better.
Substitutes:
16 Malcolm Marx- 7/10 - Lineouts improved when he got on, and pack looked stronger.
17 Trevor Nyakane 6/5/10 - Limited time, but another solid game
18 Vincent Koch - Not enough time to be rated
19 Marvin Orie - 5.5/10 - He did ok, with one good play.
Marco van Staden - 7/5/10 - Improving and getting more confidence. Physical and good at the breakdown.
21 Dan du Preez- 6/10 - Made one strong ball carry, but did not set the world alight.
22 Jaden Hendrikse - 8/10 - He could be the real deal, and compete for a starting position.
23 Morne Steyn- 7/10 - He stabilized the ship after jittery Jantjies left the field. Made the right decisions, and did the basics well.
