South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus has been filmed sarcastically instructing centre Andre Esterhuizen to practice tackling high in training this week.

It is in response to a controversial tackle made by England's Owen Farrell on Esterhuizen that went unpunished in the dying moments of the Springboks' one-point defeat at Twickenham.

Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.
