Italy did indeed beat them 20-18. South Africa, like France, always seem to play unimpressively in world cups then pull off one decent result or get a lucky draw.
As for the quarters, we'll play the runner up of the Aussie/Wales group if we win ours and then the Kiwis in the semi. South Africa, assuming they finish second in their group, will more than likely face Ireland or Scotland in the quarters.
no chance of that, it'll be winners or runners up from group D
Shame. Someone out of Ireland or Scotland has more or less got a bye to the semis because they will beat SA like a ginger stepchild
