It's just 50 minutes to go. The excitement is building. Can the Springboks pull this off?

Saturday, September 23 - 7.30pm
Good evening! Just another 90 minutes before the Springboks and Ireland fight off to determine the top spot in Pool B.
After watching the England v Chile match, it almost doesn't matter which team wins - at least we're not England, who made heavy weather downing the South Americans 71-0.
Roll on the Boks' 7-1 substitution strategy.
