Kiwi fame & SA shame
Keo.co.za rates the players in the All Blacks 57-0 record-breaking Castle Rugby Championship win against the Springboks in Albany, New Zealand.
Rieko Ioane, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Smith, Sam Cane and Brodie Retallick were colossal in a very big New Zealand performance.
Eben Etzebeth, Jean-Luc du Preez and Siya Kolisi were brave among the battered Springboks.
