The Weekend View

Defending Rugby World Cup champions, South Africa, will today face off against Romania at Nouveau Stade de Bordeau in France. The match, which kicks off at 3pm, will be the Springboks' second game of the tournament after they silenced their critics in their opening match with an 18-3 win over Scotland last week. In their opening match last Saturday, Romania were walloped 82 - 8 by Ireland, the biggest loss of any team in the competition so far. The Springboks suffered two major injury setbacks this past week - with hooker Malcolm Marx ruled out of the remainder of the tournament after a freak training ground mishap and lock Eben Etzebeth set to be sidelined for another week after injuring his shoulder last Sunday.

The Springboks start their 2023 Rugby World cup title defence campaign in Marseille, France, today with an expected pulsating tie against Scotland. The Springboks lifted the Webb Ellis Cup for a record-equalling third time in Japan four years ago after beating England in the final, but will have to be at their best from the start if they are to progress from a very difficult Pool B. Victory in today's match will put either side in a brilliant position to qualify for the quarter-finals, easing the pressure somewhat before both play Ireland. The match is due to start at 17:45 South African time. We spoke to SAfm Sports anchor Janet Whitton
