Handré Pollard is man of the match from the bench while George Martin, a surprise pick, was inspired in defeat
Is in the side to chase kicks and carried out the task with usual dedication. Didn’t offer much else on the rare occasion he touched the ball , though.Nervy knock-on from opening kick-off and barely touched it again but Steve Borthwick loves him for his work rate and there was plenty of that.Penalty against for pushing after England had done so well to stop South Africa maul but tackled hard as he always does.Tap-back from first high kick to win penalty and unsettled the Springboks aerially.
Has been England’s player of the tournament and here was another all-action display. Could not affect things as South Africa turned the tide, however.Little chance to show what he can do with ball in hand and spilled the ball but played his part in comeback.Carried hard but not for as many metres as he would have liked. Both midfields cancelled each other out somewhat.Clever dart down right from lineout move but on the whole was well shackled. Never gave up in the aerial contest.
