Jake White continue to show faith in his players when he named the 22-man squad that faces England in the RWC final on Saturday. The squad contains the core of players that he has worked with the last 4 years and it is the most capped Springbok starting XV of all time. The team shows just one change to the bench, where Wikus van Heerden replaces Bob Skinstad.

Schalk Burger, 5. Victor Matfield, 4. Bakkies Botha, 3. CJ van der Linde, 2. John Smit(captain), 1. Os du Randt

Reserves: 16. Bismarck du Plessis, 17. Jannie du Plessis, 18. Johann Muller, 19. Wikus van Heerden, 20. Ruan Pienaar, 21. Andre Pretorius, 22. Wynand Olivier

Os du Randt will be playing in his last test for SA on Saturday and SARB would like to thank him for the service he has given to SA Rugby and SARB wishes him and the rest of the Bokke all the best for the final.

I’d just like to say well done to the Argentina team which dominated the game last night against France.
They played exeptionally well and really deserved the Bronz medals.Hope we see more of them in the future,a great team like that shouldn’t fade away.
Congratulations Argentina!!!
Now it’s up to the Bokke to win the cup!!

Viva S.A they play the best rugby, it’s a pleasure to see them crush englishmen….
Well done also to Argentina. Both teams are in my point of view the best in the world. And now in France we’ll only remain with Laporte doing tricky things with money and business…Poor France
