The Two Players That Destroyed The Springboks

Shannon Frizell and Will Jordan absolutely demolished the Springboks. I’ll start with Frizell, with him it was more a case of the first 20 minutes. He was by far the best player on the field during that stretch, he was superb on attack and amazing on defence. It’s not every day you see a Springbok team get ran over like he did, that try he scored was amazing, and looked picture perfect, especially the finish where he literally ran over Willie le Roux. He also managed to get a crucial steal in the first half as South Africa was starting to get momentum. He didn’t have that big of an impact in the 2nd half, but by that time the damage was done, he did more than enough to get a win for New Zealand. Then we have Will Jordan, I’ve always liked him, he’s a try scoring machine and just reads the game so well. He’s always in the right place at the right time. He just picked the springboks apart from the get go and did it throughout the game. He knew where the gaps were and made South Africa pay. He was also great under the high ball. Hats of the the All Blacks, they destroyed the Springboks and these two players played a big role in that game.
