The Springboks currently lead Pool B with 15 points – although they’ve played one more match than Ireland (in second place with 14 points) and Scotland (in third place with 10 points), with those teams yet to face one another in their final pool match on Saturday, October 7.
“The key for us was to win first and then get the bonus point, and we managed to get that early in the second half, then we chased points as much as we could,” said coach Jacques Nienaber.
“As things stand now, either one of the South African, Irish and Scottish teams could miss out on the quarter-final, but all three can still make it. The pool will only be decided on Saturday.”
