Kriel & Cassiem class acts
Keo.co.za rated Jaco Kriel the pick of several outstanding Springbok performers, with Uzair Cassiem a close second. Pumas fullback Joaquin Tuculet was the best of the Pumas.
The Springboks pack was strong, dominant and in total control. Collectively this was their best performance of the four Tests played and won this season.
Connie Oosthuizen enjoyed his best Test in the No 3 jersey but it was Kriel and Cassiem who blossomed the most in the Nelson Mandela Bay’s electric atmosphere.
