Beauden Barrett’s performance may not be as sharp as it was four years ago, but his impact on the game increased. He had a tough time dealing with Pollard’s high kicks, but he still managed to score a try and receive a rating of 7.

Mark Telea, known for his evasive running skills in tight spaces, created an opening for Barrett to score. He has been nominated for the breakthrough of the year award and is highly likely to win.

Aaron Smith had a successful final tournament and despite facing challenges, he remained composed after receiving a red card. He also demonstrated good judgement in knowing when to increase his pace. His performance was rated a 7 out of 10.

Brodie Retallick focused on disrupting Fourie’s lineout throws. It’s not surprising, considering his past accomplishments, but his abilities may have diminished somewhat on this particular stage. Score: 6/10

The captain of the team, Sam Cane, was given a red card for making a high tackle on Kriel shortly before the 30-minute mark. This decision seems severe considering that it was not the strongest tackle in a game filled with similar actions. Let’s remember to show some compassion for him as he will likely face criticism. I received three notifications regarding this incident.
