Preview
This is a massive game for both teams. South Africa must come back with a bonus point win to make up for their shock loss to Japan whilst Samoa will be eyeing top spot in this Pool.
South Africa has made a number of changes to their side including most of the backline. It is do or die for them and they will surely bring back a hugely physical game.
Samoa is not known for standing back and will bring their physicality to this game. For them it is a chance to secure their first win over South Africa and steal top place in this Pool. That is their aim.
This will be a massively brutal game. Can’t wait
