The Springboks currently find themselves in a position where they cannot improve their rankings points due to the fact they are playing sides significantly lower than them in the rankings, namely Italy and Georgia, in the two remaining July internationals. However, with the second-placed All Blacks facing fourth-placed France, the Springboks’ arch-rivals do have an opportunity to continue eating into the Springboks’ rankings lead – especially considering that Les Bleus have brought a weakened squad to New Zealand. Just this past weekend, the All Blacks did improve their tally by 0.62 points after picking up a hard-fought victory over France, and there…

15 Theo Attissogbe (France): Made his mark in the Six Nations and then impressed on Saturday despite being moved from wing to full-back. Attissogbe showed his attacking skills by making the break for Mickael Guillard’s try but it was his basics, particularly under the high ball, which impressed the most. Damian Willemse made an impressive Test return for the Springboks but it was not enough to displace the Frenchman. 14 Will Jordan (New Zealand): Ireland’s Tommy O’Brien and Tom Roebuck of England also managed to touch down twice each, but Jordan was at his classy best in Dunedin. An injury to Sevu Reece forced him to move over to the right wing…
