The loose forwards of the Springboks were massive against the All Blacks
- 1048
South Africa were crowned Champions of the Greatest Rugby Rivalry Tour after beating the All Blacks 43-28 in America, winning the series 3-1.
The Springboks were dominant from the first minute until the final whistle and a big talking point was the loose forwards. No scrum penalties for Rassie Erasmus's men but Siya Kolisi, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Japser Wiese, Andre Esterhuizen and Cameron Hanekom all had massive games.
Du Toit and Hanekom both scored tries.
Wiese had the most carries, meters and defenders beaten from all the forwards-68.
Kolisi left the field early in the 2nd half but got through a ton of work, making 10/11 tackles and winning one turnover.
Du Toit as always was a machine. In his 66 minutes he made 13/15 tackles and also won one turnover.
Esterhuizen ran over people for fun.
Over the four tests, the bok forwards had set piece dominance and in this last match it was not in the scrums and two lost lineouts but in general attack they were on fire and on defence, they were machines!
