The Wallabies also had to use a lot of energy to stop him at the breakdowns. He was on the field for about 65 minutes, which must be close to a record for him. He also won a turnover and tackled like a man possessed in open play. He made the most carries and he made more metres than any another forward. He produced a perfectly weighted kick for Canan Moodie’s try. It was a mixed bag from the playmaker. It did cost him a yellow card in the end. He produced some strong carries and he scored a try in the ninth minute. It was there for all to see at the Sydney Football Ground where they outscored their opponents by four tries to one.

“It is something we are working hard on to grow the confidence in the last part of the game to make sure we embrace those moments but also stay clear in our decision-making.” However, no team has stolen more opposition lineouts in the competition this year than the All Blacks with six.

Nine minutes into the half, wing Will Jordan and centre Rieko Ioane contested a kick to take the ball forward. However, the wing was yellow carded for his action after the try, which led to some pushing and shoving involving both teams. The visitors then added 12 more points in the second stanza through two more five pointers and one conversion, while interestingly, they never attempted one penalty kick at goal for a gutsy and convincing win. The victory, after leading 12-3 at halftime, was the perfect way to bounce back after last week’s defeat in Adelaide. Lock Eben Etzebeth did well to pass the ball to midfielder Damian de Allende, who went over under the posts, with an easy conversion by No 10 Damian Willemse to give them a 7-0 lead.

Following their 24-8 victory over Australia in their Rugby Championship Test in Sydney on Saturday, here's the player ratings for South Africa.

2 Malcolm Marx: On the evidence of this tournament, he should now be the regular starter. Does all the unseen stuff superbly. 3 Frans Malherbe: As ever, scrummaged well and was a workhouse around the field. Excellent in the lineout, good around the field and finished with a deserved try for good measure. His control – the concern before the game – was excellent and he also displayed some magic touches in attack. 15 Willie le Roux: South Africa’s attack is transformed with the full-back in the side.
