Springboks thrash USA

Thursday, October 8, 2015

Pretoria - The Springboks have once again flown the South African flag proudly in their fourth and final Group B match of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

Ten tries and seven conversions saw the Boks bury the USA 64-0.

With this successful game against the USA, the Springboks now lead the South African charge into the quarter finals of the Rugby World Cup.

Brand South Africa CEO Kingsley Makhubela congratulated the Boks saying the green and gold team’s valiant spirit and unwavering determination on the sports field embodies the resilience and tenacity of the South African nation.

“Your excellent teamwork highlights the way South Africans come together to achieve to do great things for our country. Brand South Africa and the South African nation salute you and wish you well in your next encounter in the quarter finals of the Rugby World Cup,” said Makhubela.

The Boks clearly set themselves as a force to reckoned with going into the quarterfinals on 17 October – an immensely improved performance following their dismal showing against Japan in their opening match.

The Boks will meet the loser of the Pool B decider-match between Australia and Wales on Saturday. - SAnews.gov.za
