The South Africa Springboks, two-time Rugby World Cup champions, find themselves in a desperate situation in the 2019 tournament, as they sit third on the Pool B table, behind three-time champs New Zealand and, in one of the surprises of the tournament so far, the Azzurri of Italy who lead the group with 10 points after two matches. But South Africa may hold an advantage, having already faced, and lost to, the All Blacks, as The Inquisitr reported. Italy, on the other hand, have accumulated their points with wins against overmatched Canada and Namibia.
South African have defeated Italy in 13 out of 14 test matches, but in the most recent confrontation three years ago, Italy came away with a stunning upset victory, a result they aim to repeat in the Rugby World Cup match that will stream live from Japan.
