Willie le Roux edged Eben Etzebeth for the most impactful performance when the Springboks returned to Vodacom URC action last week, according to SARugbymag.co.za readers.
There was less than one percent in it as Le Roux and Etzebeth delivered world-champion showings for their local franchises, but it was Le Roux on Vodacom Bulls debut that caught the most clicks to beat the Sharks enforcer to the finish line.
The fullback scored as the Bulls thrashed Connacht 53-27 at Loftus, while Etzebeth also crossed for a Sharks try in a 69-14 demolition of the Dragons that secured a first win of the season for the Durbanites.
