Planet Rugby has rated all 43 players Erasmus used across the England, Scotland and Wales Tests, and the picture is broadly flattering — but with instructive nuance. Willemse (9) and Kriel (8) are flagged as the standout backs, with Kriel described as effectively undroppable in midfield. Among the forwards, Paul de Villiers earns the breakout-star tag after stepping in for the injured Kolisi and growing with every game, while Wiese is credited with settling the No.8 debate. The prop depth gets particular attention: Steenekamp, Porthen, and debutant Carlu Sadie all rate 8s, with the piece calling the tighthead stocks 'embarrassing' in the best possible sense. On the other side of the ledger, Fassi (5), Tshituka (5), and Mchunu (5) are the notable underperformers, and Hanekom is assessed as not yet living up to his Bulls-form billing at Test level. Vusi Moyo's debut rates an 8 despite Erasmus's 'nervous' qualifier — the piece argues the 20-year-old earned his praise regardless of the favourable context around him.
