Rugby365: 2/10
Made early mistakes and never recovered at all. Added poor decision making to his performance as well.
Sport24: 5/10
Many preconceived views on this player … yet one of the better Boks on this ghastly day, in truth. Moment of early ball-in-hand promise, some gutsy front-on tackles and a big touch-finder just before halftime. Not type to pull a game from fire, though.
Ougrote: 0/10
