He was also one of four players to gain over 400 metres and only two players had more assists than his four.

If you were building the perfect rugby player, Semi Radradra would be a pretty good blueprint 💪✨

Surprisingly, no Springboks featured despite them becoming world champions for the third time.

Man of the match.

Man of the hour.
