3 players that impressed today
Ben Smith
Ben Smith showed his class for New Zealand as he led by example. The Full Back kept his composure throughout the fixture and made some outstanding takes in the air to deny South Africa's attack on several occasions. In a game like today which included a large amount of kicking, Smith is a key player to have in your squad.
Nehe Milner-Skudder
Milner-Skudder showed a different dimension to his game today, playing a totally different role to his usual hard running tactics. The winger played very smart against South Africa, recognising when the attack was not on and sending a kick in behind rather then get driven back. With the Springboks' quick pressing in defense, Milner-Skudder's kicking to the corner managed to keep the South African's attack at bay.
Handre Pollard
Despite coming up short against the All Blacks, Handre Pollard shone bright for South Africa. Pollard managed to keep the Springbok's hopes of victory alive for the majority of the fixture, slotting 5/5 from the tee and leading the back line. At only 21 years of age, Pollard will be a key player for South Africa in the years to come.
