Cheslin Kolbe was superb for South Africa and Sam Underhill was exceptional but it was a struggle for the rest of the England pack
Picked for his “super strength” under the high ball and showed why during aerial ding-dong. Is still looking for Williams though.Effective in the kicking contest but not really in many other areas which has been the tale of his month to date. Needs to involve himself more.Made a few dents in the South Africa defence in the opening stages but on the whole got very little change out of De Allende or Kriel.Delicate pass to release Sleightholme.
Cut in half by Kolisi early on but footwork had more of an impact this week and came up with an important turnover but missed important tackle on De Allende.Not a great afternoon under the high ball but made an important tackle on Smith. Not much chance to showcase his counterattacking.You’d put the house on him finishing his first try. The garage on his second. So springy which makes him so effective in the air. World class.
