Faff: 

Woeful. Is his loss of form permanent? Aimless kicks have returned in interest.
Hendrikse is much better. Does the basics of scrumhalf player bringing control to the team.


Steph DuToit:
A shadow of the 2019 player of the year. 
Seems to be neglecting the responsibilities of a loose forward around the ruck, to be out on the wing.

Vermuelen:
He is either long past it, or not back in form. 


Dweeb
Again started badly, but did appear to improve when he got back from the blood bin.


Pollard 
It was clear that Jantjies while making mistakes, was at least capable of getting some attacking movements going down the backline. Pollard has forgotten how to use his backline.

Delande
The combination of 10-12 is limited.
When the Boks get periods of domination, they need to score more points- and this is not happening with both Pollard and Delande offering limited options on attack

Fat Steyn
A comedy of errors with the overweight juggling clown at the back. Twice he blundered at the back, and was fortunate to not concede a 2nd knock on.

You forgot Willemse... de Jager... Kolisi...

Oh, and having du Toit near the tramlines is part of the base pattern the team uses... it's not neglecting responsibilities... that is his assigned responsibility you dingbat! Performance is pretty much consistent with everything I have ever seen of him. Faf never ever had good technique. 

Jantjies did not a lot... the Wallabies emptied the bench and relaxed... the Blocks could generate nothing without undefended empty space... again. The entire backline is the worst I have ever seen a Block team field.
