Springbok power and the rise of Feinberg-Mngomezulu

What, no Cheslin Kolbe? Look, it was close, but while “Chessie” did some brilliant things in attack, he also had his share of blunders, including an “own goal” against the Pumas in Durban and another seven-point gift at Twickenham when he threw a Hail Mary pass.

Jorgensen, the 21-year-old face of the Wallabies’ revival, impressed with his physicality in contact, ability to ghost past defenders, and prowess in the air.

The Toulouse teammate of Mallia was consistently excellent for the Pumas. His muscular defence was matched by explosive attacks — although we'll withhold applause for the easiest try in rugby history, when Cheslin nudged a drop goal into his disbelieving arms. Honourable mentions to Jordie Barrett and Damian de Allende.

11 Caleb Clarke (New Zealand)

It was a promising debut tournament for young Ethan Hooker, and the Pumas’ Rodrigo Isgro had some spectacular touches, including plucking the ball out of the air for the final say last week at Twickenham, but Clarke in full flight is the epitome of Julian Savea at his best. Clarke, son of ’90s All Blacks centre Eroni, is the perfect blend of pace and brawn.

10 Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu (South Africa)

This was a one-horse race, with respect to the consistent Beauden Barrett, but this Championship will be remembered for the birth of Superstar Sacha.

The rugby world had seen glimpses of his brilliance before, but it was in Durban, against the Pumas, that he pulled out his magic wand and dazzled.

He scored three tries and created several more as the Boks scorched home 67-30.
