Here's how the players rated in the All Blacks' win over the Springboks and why:
All Blacks
Beauden Barrett – 8
If rush defence was a problem, no one told Barrett. The Springboks had no answer to his running game.
Sevu Reece – 5
His directionless running and wild offloading probably did more harm than good but used his speed to full effect.
Anton Lienert-Brown – 8
Carrying phenomenal form all year, he cut through the Springboks defence and covered his role well defensively.
Ryan Crotty – 6
Nothing to write home about but a solid performance to take confidence out of for the rest of the tournament.
George Bridge – 7
Covered plenty of ground and seemed to pop up everywhere. One of the hardest working players out there.
Richie Mo'unga – 8
Didn't always take the safe option but sized up the play and made the right one more often than not. Defended well.
Aaron Smith – 6
Found his way into the game after a very nervous start. Distributed the ball well and stood up in defence.
Kieran Read – 6
Nothing glamorous about the way Read went about his work but he was effective on both sides of the ball.
Sam Cane – 7
Sustained a head knock in the first half and was limited to 40 minutes but was a defensive workhorse in that time.
Ardie Savea – 10
Dazzled with his footwork. Made smart plays on both sides of the ball and won a number of turnovers. Impressive.
Scott Barrett – 9
Made damaging tackles and won an important turnover. Backed up the attack well and was rewarded with a try.
Sam Whitelock – 7
Made important tackles early to slow down the Springboks' running game but struggled to get involved later.
Nepo Laulala – 6
Strong at scrum time and worked hard in the gritty areas but he was caught out a few times defensively.
Dane Coles – 6
Was substituted at the start of the second half after failing to find a way to impact the game. Had early lineout troubles.
Joe Moody – 7
Made plenty of tackles without missing one, got stuck in to the breakdown and was strong at the set piece.
Reserves: Codie Taylor - 6, Ofa Tuungafasi - 6, Angus Ta'avao - 6, Patrick Tuipulotu - 5, Shannon Frizell - 5, TJ Perenara - 6, Sonny Bill Williams - 7, Ben Smith - 5.
Springboks
Willie le Roux – 6
Comfortable under the high ball and carried the ball with intent. Could have been better defensively.
Cheslin Kolbe – 9
Busy on attack and defence, went searching for work in-field, tackled well and was reliable under the high ball.
Lukhanyo Am – 7
Made some searching runs early, put on some big shots and won some turnovers. Faded late before being substituted.
Damian de Allende – 7
Was probably the hardest working Springbok out there, making an impact on both sides of the ball.
Makazole Mapimpi – 5
Did what he could with limited opportunities on attack; had a mixed night on the defensive end.
Handre Pollard – 7
Made a couple of questionable decisions but remained cool under pressure and even slotted a dropped goal.
Faf de Klerk – 7
Caused plenty of problems for the All Blacks from the back of the ruck but his defence left plenty to be desired.
Duane Vermeulen – 5
Would be disappointed with his tackling effort, missing more than he made.
Pieter-Steph de Toit – 7
Scored probably the easiest try he'll ever get, made plenty of tackles but his handling let him down at times.
Siya Kolisi – 6
Tried hard to set an example for his team and put in plenty of work around the breakdown and on defence.
Franco Mostert – 7
Lead the team defensively and racked up the tackle count. Was consistent throughout his 80-minute stint.
Eben Etzebeth – 6
Tried to get involved in the running game but had little impact; was well positioned and stong on defence.
Frans Malherbe – 5
Spent most of his 54-minute stint contesting the breakdown. Was rarely sighted otherwise.
Malcolm Marx – 5
Had a relatively quiet night outside of set pieces. Made some good runs but was average on defence.
Steven Kitshoff - 6
Got stuck in to his work. Was active defensively and put his hand up to carry the ball when called upon.
Reserves: Bongi Mbonambi - 6, Tendai Mtawarira - 7, Trevor Nyakane - 5, RG Snyman - 6, Francois Louw - 5, Herschel Jantjies - 5, Frans Steyn - NA, Jesse Kriel - 6.
