#5. Finn Russell (Scotland)
RUCK: His wayward kicking from the tee ultimately cost his side as the Springboks edged clear. A few moments of magic, but as many if not more brainfarts from the Racing number 10.
Rugby Pass 5/10: “Some sublime touches in attack, including the cross-kick to put van der Merwe away for Hogg’s first try, and a lovely offload for the captain’s second. Missed eight points from the tee though.”
The Herald: “Creativity was steadily annulled by a brutally effective Boks defence. Played a supporting role in Hogg’s second try but missed three of his five kicks at goal.”
