Aphiwe Dyantyi - South Africa:
A Man of the Match performance and hardly putting a foot wrong. He grabbed 2 tries on the night and helped Mapimpi to 2 tries too. He seems to have made the 11 jumper his own and will score plenty more points in the Green and Gold.
Pieter-Steph du Toit - South Africa:
Back at lock today and paired with Etzebeth and made more tackles than any other player with 18. He contributed with 10 carries and his partnership with Etzebeth is a dangerous one for the opposition
Nicolas Sanchez - Argentina:
The Pumas pivot struggled on defence with the big Bok runners but created plenty of opportunities for his teammates and was a constant thorn in the Springboks side. He is vital to their rejuvenation which they will target as early as next week when they have a rematch against South Africa in Argentina
