I'm in no doubt that the avergae Bok score should be above the average England score. But these are a joke. Either the English scores are too low, or these are too high. Or a bit of both.
Just look at who got 6/10 in each team, for example. Then watch the match and read the reasons given. No consistency between the two articles.

Anyone been watching young Serfontein in the Junior tournament ? that guy should be in the Springbok camp... he's the real deal.

I think the scores are a little inflated also,,the only players who warrant their high scores are Hougaard-Etzebeth and BDV,the rest i feel didnt really do anything imho to warrant getting an extra point ,which PR seem to have given and for JP.Pitersen 2 points .But then its all subjective ,and player ratings really are meaningless

Generally agree with the scores... I also wonder what he's going to do next week, hopefully replace Steyn? Wouldn't this have been a perfect opportunity for Goosen, what a pity he's injured!!

Agree with JayStarr, that Bok bench was always weak and it almost cost them. Flip and Wynand looked like pretty boys who didn't want to put in any graft. Kruger had a negative effect, they all did. Rather WP Nel, Mostert/Bakkies and Juan de Jongh. And Mvovo before Basson. Early days for Meyer but if he keeps faith with that bench he will lose a lot of people's faith. And Morne? Never seen him take the ball into contact as much, was that intentional? Actually feel for the guy but Lambie may be worth a shot.

Meyer and Jdv said that they want to develop a home fortress...So what will he do in the 3rd test now that the series is already won? And would he rather rest some of the super rugby players ? This is a good example of role conflict...

I think those scores are pretty fair...
And I think it also highlights the fact that the Springbok bench - especially Kruger, Vd Merwe and Olivier - were weak... They didn't contribute anything. At least Keegan and Adriaan tried and failed, instead of just being nobodies like the 3 mentioned.
Now that we have the series wrapped up, I would like to see Heyneke start Keegan, Pienaar and Lambie at 8, 9 and 10 and bring Aplon in at 15. We WILL score more tries then.

Yes, I'm with Philipjfry - scores a little overdone and Beast wasn't 2 points below the majority of his team-mates.
Understatement of the year - the gap between Meisiekind and SA's starting centres is quite big.... The gap is so big even he might be able to run through it...

@PR: Some of those scores are super inflated, were we watching the same game?
