Pieter-Steph once again du Toit showed why he is one of the best, if not the best, rugby player in the world at the moment, with an action-packed Man-of-the-Match performance to help the Springboks beat the All Blacks 31-27 at Ellis Park at the weekend.
Du Toit was again the Swiss Army Knife of the forward pack as he incredibly played in three different positions through the course of the game.
Due to the Bok lock crisis, that saw five frontline locks ruled out for the match, while enforcer Eben Etzebeth had to play off the bench after he picked up a knock in training, Du Toit was selected to start at No4 lock.
