The prospect of an Ireland versus South Africa World cup quarter-final remains a possibility after the Springboks did their bit by beating Italy 49-3 in Shizuoka on Friday.

It’s all but secured runner-up place in Pool B for the Springboks, unless they lose to Canada and Italy somehow go all Russell Crowe and beat the All Blacks.
