9. Ruan Pienaar 6
Not his worst game in a Bok jersey by a long shot, showing good composure and tactical kicking. Was far better than his replacement Reinach, but service is still on the slow side. Will hopefully show his worth in Northern Hemisphere conditions later in the year.

Something that's quietly slipped under the radar… How good has Ruan Pienaar been?? Never ever thought I'd use those words.

8. Schalk Burger 8
What more can you say than this man is a machine. He never has a bad game. Filled the number 8 role brilliantly in the absence of Duane Vermeulen. Big tackles, high workrate and commitment to the cause. Our style of game needs a number 8 in his and Duane’s mould – there is just no room for posers. Inspired his fellow loosies.

So, so classy from Schalk … What a human. What a game. Can't believe I questioned his ability to play at 8
