South Africa have named not two, and not even three, but four scrum-halves in their matchday 23 for the World Cup Pool B meeting with Romania in Bordeaux this Sunday.

The choice of four nines in their 33-man squad was greeted with incredulity at the time but head coach Jacques Nienaber insisted it was no ruse and he has followed it up with another unorthodox selection for their second tournament outing.
