South Africa vs Tonga LIVE!
The penultimate matchweek of the 2023 Rugby World Cup pool stage wrapped up with a meeting between the Springboks and the Sea Eagles in Marseille. South Africa have effectively booked their place in the quarter-finals by notching a bonus-point win, which also eliminated Tonga.
Defeat to Ireland last week means defending champions South Africa are, realistically, fighting for second place in Pool B unless results go their way by Scotland causing an upset next weekend. The Boks have the final round of matches off, making this their last chance to generate some momentum ahead of the knockouts.
Tonga were comfortably beaten on the scoreboard but played rather well for their third defeat in a group of death that at least ends in a week’s time with a clash against minnows Romania.
