Victorious over Tonga 49-18 on Sunday at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille, with the offensive bonus, the South African world champions moved closer to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, but will still have to wait for the result of Ireland-Scotland on Saturday to be sure of their qualification. With 15 points in the standings, the Springboks, who played their four group matches, returned to the top of Group B ahead of Ireland (14 pts) and Scotland (10 pts) and should, barring unlikely circumstances, in the last match between these two teams, head to the quarter-finals where they should meet France or New Zealand.
