Four Springbok flyhalves | Who should start?

With the Springboks looking to bounce back in the 2nd test of Rugby's Greatest Rivalry Tour against the All Blacks in Cape Town, a big talking point for Springbok supporters are who should start in the number 10 jersey.

Last weekend, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu had a 6/10 game for the Springboks in their 16-33 loss to New Zealand. He struggled to get his general kicks in the right areas of the field and looked average on attack.

We took a deep dive into the last 9 Springbok tests. Who started at flyhalve and their carry, meters, pass and kick stats.
