Six tries, brutal set-piece surges after halftime, and ruthless transition play turned a tight first stanza into a statement rout. Cheslin Kolbe book-ended the tally with two finishes, Damian Willemse powered through for the momentum-swinger, and the bench led by RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith and Manie Libbok, crushed the hosts down the stretch.
Here’s how every Bok performed, using your ratings and the match data provided.
1. Ox Nche (8.5)
Owned the first scrum exchanges, then set the tone defensively with a dominant tackle. Four carries for 15 metres, one line brea,k and an offload underline how destructive he was in contact. Three passes and four tackles before the front-row reshuffle.
2. Malcolm Marx (8.0)
A heartbeat at the ruck and a reliable target finder. Six tackles, 17 metres carried and three passes; nuisance hands at cleanouts stalled All Black momentum. Lineout cohesion improved as the game wore on.
3. Thomas du Toit (7.5)
Gave South Africa an early edge at the set piece and added seven tackles. Two carries and solid maul work. Foundation work that let the finishers feast.
4. Lood de Jager (N/A)
Departed too early to rate.
5. Ruan Nortje (7.5)
Glue in the engine room: four lineouts won, nine tackles, five carries and five passes. Quietly snuffed out platforms the All Blacks usually cash in on.
6. Siya Kolisi (8.0)
Leadership plus punch. Three line breaks or half-break involvements, 34 metres from three carries, four tackles and three passes. His early second-half surge off a dominant scrum flipped territory and tone.
7. Pieter-Steph du Toit (9.0)
Everywhere. Seven tackles, six carries for 31 metres, two offloads and a lineout steal. One try assist and repeated “stop” moments on defence. Set the physical standard.
8. Jasper Wiese (8.5)
Relentless go-forward: 14 carries for 37 metres, six defenders beaten, eight tackles and eight passes. Constantly put the All Blacks on the back foot.
9. Cobus Reinach (8.0)
47 passes to set the tempo, sharp service and one try assist. Eight tackles and a dominant hit at the fringe. Passed his HIA and kept control.
10. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (7.0)
Bright start with contestables and snipes, nine passes, one carry for 18 metres, then forced off at 18 minutes. Promising before the knock.
11. Ethan Hooker (8.5)
Explosive on the edge: 11 carries for 99 metres, five defenders beaten, one line break and an offload. Asked constant questions in backfield kick returns.
12. Damian Willemse (9.5)
Game-breaker. 14 carries for 90 metres, two line breaks, two offloads, six defenders beaten and six tackles. Scored the decisive punch-through try and handled full-back duties seamlessly when required.
13. Canan Moodie (8.0)
Defensive organiser with 12 tackles and two offloads, six carries to bend the line. Smart reads squeezed New Zealand’s width.
14. Cheslin Kolbe (9.0)
Two tries, three line breaks, 119 metres from seven carries and four tackles. The intercept swing and the second-half finisher framed the night. One pass, maximum menace.
15. Aphelele Fassi (8.0)
Assured until injury. Four carries for 25 metres, calm in the air and tidy coverage. One tackle; back-three balance looked right with him on.
Replacements
16. Marnus van der Merwe (8.0)
Brought bite at the contact point, two tackles, and clean set-piece throws under heat. One pass; helped close the door.
17. Jan-Hendrik Wessels (8.0)
Scrum impact straight away, five tackles and a stabilising presence. Two passes. Shifted momentum at the set piece.
18. Wilco Louw (8.0)
Anchored the scrum, three tackles and heavy maul shoves that drained the clock and the All Blacks’ legs.
19. RG Snyman (9.0)
Transformational cameo. Try scorer, three lineouts won, four tackles, six carries for 19 metres, two offloads and a line break. Changed the game’s altitude.
20. Kwagga Smith (9.0)
Turbo boost. Six carries for 20 metres, three defenders beate,n and the killer try. Two tackles and a turnover won; everywhere in transition.
21. Grant Williams (8.0)
Fifteen passes, seven tackles, one line break and a try assist while moonlighting on the wing. Vital cover tackle on Will Jordan summed up his night.
22. Manie Libbok (9.0)
Game management masterclass. Fifteen passes, sharp territorial control, a penalty and conversions that stretched the gap. Kicked on a string and sped up the Boks’ shape.
23. Andre Esterhuizen (8.5)
Sledgehammer runner and slick linker: five carries for 35 metres, four defenders beaten, one try and one try assist. Bent the gainline on demand.
