We can still win the World Cup despite the loss.

These were the words of Springboks Head Coach Jacques Nienaber after their narrow 13-8 loss to Ireland yesterday.

He further says the margin between the Springboks and Ireland is very small and they will have to work harder on the areas that they were not good at, and if they can have a bit of luck to fix that, they can defend the World Cup.

The Springboks will take on Tonga in their final pool match next Monday at 7am.
