Victor Matfield used the Rivals podcast to make a strong case for two Boks who don't always get their due. He called Damian de Allende — man of the match in the 45-21 win over England — probably the most underrated player in world rugby, pointing to his go-forward and work rate as the engine that puts South Africa on the front foot. Damian Willemse drew equal praise, with Matfield describing it as one of the best games he's seen from the fullback. Jasper Wiese got a similar endorsement — Matfield argued he's forcing his way into the conversation as one of the best in the world, given how consistently he makes metres and generates momentum. With Erasmus rotating heavily for the Scotland clash — ten changes, Pollard in at 10 for Libbok — Matfield also touched on how the tactical identity shifts depending on who starts at flyhalf, while insisting the Boks won't abandon their structural strengths regardless.
