TOULON, France - South Africa have put behind them the disappointment of their epic 13-8 weekend loss to Ireland and are focussed on a bonus-point win over Tonga in Marseille on Sunday, according to loose-forward Kwagga Smith.
Ireland head Pool B with 14 points, followed by South Africa on 10 and Scotland with five, though the matter must still play minnows Romania and, crucially, the Irish in Paris on Oct. 7. "Tonga are a physical team, so to play against them will be great to know our physicality is also at the highest level.
Missed opportunities is the theme from the Bok camp following their Ireland defeat, not just the 11 points they did not take from the kicking tee, but also inaccuracy with ball in hand when in the Irish 22."It was a disappointing loss for us, we have reviewed it and we had a lot of opportunities which we did not use. We will have to make sure that doesn't happen again because from now on, we can't have any more slip-ups," Smith said.
