    Maybe in Argentina next week, Marco van Staden could start (in place of Francois Louw), also Thomas du Toit (in place of Frans Malherbe).

    Handré Pollard will have to kick better at posts, for sure!

    The 2 Bokke wingers were very busy and dangerous
    Eben Etzebeth had a monster game
    Pieter-Steph du Toit was hard, strong and abrasive
    Malcolm Marx was excelelent at the rucks, but the Bokke will have to work on their lineouts… too many attacking lineouts lost.

    What was good is that the Bokke dominated possession and territory.

    Bokke scored 24 points to 7 in the 2nd half… so they had a very good 2nd half.
