The English, who finished top of pool C, scored 13 tries against the ill-disciplined Springboks. However the Boks will exit the tournament with their pride intact despite suffering a crushing defeat to the top ranked England. They will also take invaluable lessons from the global showpiece. Boks coach, Stanley Raubenheimer, “We are very blessed to be here we had a good time in New Zealand you can see the players enjoyed themselves here and there was lot of lessons for us and it’s great to see the team still in a good mood after a hiding like that, a growth of our group there are couple of young players with some great names you will see in the future.

The Boks showed that they can compete against higher ranked with victories against Japan and Spain prior to the tournament.“It’s easy to give up when the times are tough, but it made us very close in that group for couple of weeks. Hopefully this is a start for good things for SA rugby.” adds Raubenheimer.
