The Boks beat the Fijians at their own game with a commanding display of total rugby, scoring six tries while keeping the islanders try-less. We rate the Boks’ performances:
15. Patrick Lambie [6]
Solid all round performance. Not really tested under the high ball, but performed his defensive duties well. Was also on the receiving end of some big hits!
Zinzan Brooke states that the Springboks weren’t the best team in the world when they won the World Cup in 1995 and 2007, instantly losing his entire South African fanbase. Have another Heineken Zinnie!
