Italy don’t beat the Springboks too often. When they last did, it was a shock. If they do it again, it will be a catastrophe for South Africa.

The Springboks have beaten Italy in 13 out of 14 encounters yet it’s the memory of the one they didn’t that still lingers.

Erasmus has taken little chances and almost produced a carbon copy of the “senior” team that began the tournament. “Our defence is one of the most difficult to face, and with a few tweaks here and there along the way, along with 100% efficiency, we can really go on to win this World Cup, but the attack must complement the defence.”

“It wasn’t a nice feeling obviously,” Damian de Allende recalled this week. “What I can remember from that game is we played quite loose. Their forwards dominated us, especially close to our tryline and also close to theirs. They stopped a lot of our mauls and they contained us quite well. It was three years ago, I haven’t looked at it since.”
