Following the Springboks’ 32-17 victory over France at the Stade de France near Paris, here’s how we rated Rassie Erasmus’ charges in an epic Autumn Nations Series encounter.
Springboks player ratings v France
15 Damian Willemse: Did his job and did it solidly. He was good under the high ball and even regathered one of his own kicks. Didn’t have much impact on the attack, but didn’t get too many opportunities either. Subbed off in the second half to allow Manie Libbok to come on and change the attacking picture, which paid off. 6
14 Cheslin Kolbe: Grew into the game
