South Africa vs Canada match preview
If South Africa can beat the Canadians and take a bonus point in Kobe, they’ll have one foot in the quarter finals. They currently sit second in Pool B behind leaders, New Zealand, who have 14 points to South Africa’s 10.
Italy also sit on 10 points but the Italians face rugby’s toughest task in their final group game: New Zealand. As a result, everything points to the All Blacks and the Springboks being the Pool B teams that progress.
The Springboks have made 13 changes to their team ahead of the Canada fixture, including moving full back Damian Willemse into the starting lineup. The only players Rassie Erasmus has retained from his previous lineup are skipper, Siya Kolisi and Damien de Allende.
