RUSTENBURG HERALD - PARIS, FRANCE - SA Rugby Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus said on Monday he was comfortable with the Springboks’ log position after wrapping up their group phase of the Rugby World Cup with a 49-18 victory over Tonga on Sunday, to put them at the top of Pool B.
The Springboks have 15 log points after four games. Ireland and Scotland – who face off in what will be a pool decider on Saturday – are on 14 and 10 points respectively. Erasmus explained a series of permutations that could come into play.
