South Africa started their Rugby Championship campaign with a commanding 26-10 win over a hapless New Zealand in Nelspruit on Saturday.

Physically dominating the All Blacks from the outset, the Springboks slowly built a lead and the final margin is indeed an accurate reflection of the game.

The Boks showed some enterprise on attack, with more variation in their game.

However, it was their kicking game that really troubled the visitors at the Mbombela stadium.

Jan de Koning rates the South African players!

15 Damian Willemse – 7
Showed great variation in his game – running the first couple of times and when All Black defence came up, looked for space behind them with the boot. He was also solid at the back, but got a bit too cheeky and earned a warning from referee for ‘pushing’ players.

14 Kurt-lee Arendse – 7
Showed his great aerial skills. Started with a brilliant kick-chase that resulted in the first try and continued to dominate in the air. Dealt very well with Caleb Clarke on defence, but spoilt it with a poor tackle in the air that resulted in a red card and being taken from the field on a mobile stretcher.

13 Lukhanyo Am – 7
Sublime off-load for the first try and made two really impressive runs. Won a couple of great penalty turnovers, making all but two of his tackles.

12 Damian de Allende – 6
Conceded a silly penalty for encroaching on the advantage line before the ball was out of the scrums, but carried manfully and made seven tackles.

11 Makazole Mapimpi – 6
Sublime kick and collect that won a penalty for SA and chasing hard all game, but missed a couple of tackles and conceded two turnovers.

10 Handre Pollard – 7
Missing touch with a penalty, but overall a much-improved performance that included a great goal-kicking display and a crucial drop-goal.

9 Francois De Klerk – NA
Shot out of the line twice in the opening 40 seconds, the second time his head making contact with the knee of Caleb Clarke – knocking him out cold and ending his match.

8 Jasper Wiese – 7
Plenty of impressive carries and solid on defence – making A MATCH-HIGH 14 tackles. hE gave away a silly breakdown penalty, but overall it was the kind of performance that could cement his spot in the Bok starting XV.

7 Pieter-Steph du Toit – 6
His impressive work rate off the ball and on defence, with a 90 percent tackle completion percentage.

6 Siya Kolisi – 8
Great breakdown work, attending rucks at a higher rate than usual. At times he played more like a blindside flank. His tackle count – with a 100 percent completion rate – also went into double figures.

5 Lood de Jager – 7
Worked very hard on defence and was a tower of strength in the set pieces. Did lose the ball in contact early in the second half, but a commendable performance.

4 Eben Etzebeth – 6
Quiet by his usual high standards – with very little reward for his eight carries and a couple of missed tackles. There was a great line-out steal.

Related

3 Frans Malherbe – 5
Solid in the set pieces, but his work rate needs improving. Made only a handful of tackles and a couple of ineffective carries.

2 Malcolm Marx – 9
Had another powerful game to mark his 50th cap, even though it was not flawless – a deserved Man of the Match outing. His ball control may not always have been clinical enough at times and also failed to find his jumper early on. However, he made up for it by making all his tackles and winning five breakdown penalties.

1 Trevor Nyakane – 6
Started with a powerful scrum that won a penalty and won a couple more set-piece penalties. However, then conceded a scrum penalty later. Made six tackles and was subbed in the 39th minute after he clearly ran out of puff.

Replacements:

16 Mbongeni Mbonambi – 5
Some good endeavour, but missed as many tackles as he made. Not the way to win back a starting spot.

17 Steven Kitshoff – 7
Won a couple of turnovers in the second half, made eight tackles and stood solid in the set pieces.

18 Vincent Koch – 6
Looked to bring some energy in his stint, missing just one tackle and had a couple of determined carries.

19 Salmaan Moerat – NA
Not enough time to be rated.

Related

20 Franco Mostert – 6
Working hard off the ball, getting into good defensive positions and working hard at the breakdown.

21 Kwagga Smith – 8
Very busy on defence, making some great cover tackles. Also a couple of impressive carries. A real impact off the bench.

22 Jaden Hendrikse – 8
Varied his game well, asking different questions. His basics were rock solid and his kicks out of hand also from the top shelve.

23 Willie le Roux – NA
Sneaked onto the field in the last minute and his only action was to score the try that sealed the game by showing great anticipation. However, not enough time to be rated.

Ollie Lawrence determined to show his 'true self' for England

Sometimes life gives you signs-you just got to be paying attention. One night, deep in an Uber ride, I struck up a conversation with the driver. The topic of Bitcoin came up, and he mentioned that he once lost his wallet containing $50,000.

I thought this would be the end of the story-something like regret, lessons learned, and moving on. But then he said something that stuck with me: "Thankfully, I found Lee Ultimate Hacker. They got everything back." I nodded, really interested but unconcerned. After all, I was so very careful with my wallet security. I thought, That's rough, but it could never happen to me. A week later, it happened to me. I lost the wallet holding $300,000 while overhauling my crypto storage system. In one wrong move, my funds became completely unreachable. I retraced passwords, checked backups, tried everything that normally works, but nothing worked. Panic kicked in. My mind was racing, trying to figure out my next move. And then, I remembered the Uber driver's story.

I didn't waste a moment and contacted Lee Ultimate Hacker. Right upon connecting to their team, I could feel my nerves calm down. They did not right away get to work but also asked questions, analyzed my situation, and explained how the recovery would go. It was next-level professionalism; they didn't just work on how to return my money but also how to make me understand what happened and how I could avoid it in the future. Finally, after what felt like the longest wait of my life, came the message that I had been waiting for: My wallet was recovered successfully.

Relief doesn't even begin to describe my feeling at that moment. That $300,000 wasn't just money; it was years of careful investments and strategic planning. And in an instant, it was all back where it belonged. In retrospect, I owe more than a five-star rating to that Uber driver. His story gave me a lifeline which I didn't know I needed. Lesson learned: Pay attention to those random conversations-you never know when they might save you a fortune.

Crusaders prepare for 'dangerous in all elements' Chiefs game-breaker

I’ve always been careful with my cryptocurrency, but even the most cautious investors can fall victim to cyber threats. My nightmare began when a ransomware attack locked me out of my $500,000 Bitcoin wallet. The hackers demanded payment in exchange for access, but I refused to negotiate with criminals. Desperate and running out of options, I started researching legitimate crypto recovery services, something I never thought I’d need.During my search, I came across an article about crypto recovery services that highlighted Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery as an industry leader. While I was skeptical at first, I was also desperate. Every hour that passed felt like my funds were slipping further away. Finally, I decided to take a chance and reached out to their team.From the very first call, I knew I was dealing with professionals. The team at Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery listened patiently to my situation and reassured me that I wasn’t alone,ransomware attacks were becoming increasingly common, and they had successfully helped many people recover their stolen crypto. Their confidence gave me hope.Once I provided the necessary details about my wallet and the attack, their forensic specialists got to work. Unlike the hackers, who demanded money without guarantees, Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery provided clear expectations, a transparent process, and constant updates. Their team used advanced blockchain analysis tools to trace the compromised transactions and locate vulnerabilities that could be exploited to regain access.The waiting period was nerve-wracking, but they delivered on every promise. Within a matter of days, I received the news I had been praying for—my $500,000 had been fully restored. I could barely believe it. My funds were back, and the hackers had failed.Beyond the recovery itself, Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery also educated me on preventing future attacks. They advised me on strengthening my wallet security, using cold storage, and recognizing suspicious links or downloads that could contain malware. Their insight and expertise ensured that I wouldn’t be caught off guard again.What started as a moment of complete despair ended with an incredible victory—all thanks to Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you think your crypto is gone for good, don’t lose hope. They are the real deal, and they proved that even after a ransomware attack, your assets can still be saved.
