Defending champion South Africa can clinch a quarterfinal spot at the Rugby World Cup with a bonus-point win over Tonga in Marseille on Sunday.
“If we are very lucky, maybe we will have a little chance. But don’t forget they won by 20 points against Georgia, who we just drew with. But I am proud of what we do and consider that we will play one of the best teams in the world even if they are not at their best at the moment.”
The losses to Fiji and Wales over the last two weekends have gone down in history, but Australia has never lost more than two matches at a tournament. Perhaps fortunately for them, Portugal doesn’t have a world-class goalkicker. Also, Lagisquet says he had to change four of his pack after the 18-18 draw with Georgia because players were tired. They’re not used to three high-level matches on consecutive weekends, and they finish against Fiji next weekend.
