Kleyn's 'bizzare' test rugby journey sees him face familiar faces 

The Springbok lock admitted prior to the Romania game that his personal journey in Test rugby has been a “bizarre” one but that the two distinct chapters felt very distinct from the other but it’s one where others continue to join the dots.

Two rounds of the pool stages have come and gone at this Rugby World Cup and the apparently random means by which some players are called to account for dangerous tackles while others aren’t is utterly embedded.

The sense on Sunday was that Jean Kleyn was lucky to concede just the penalty for his tackle on Romanian lock Adrian Motoc in Bordeaux but the hours since have ticked by with nothing in the way of reproach for the South African lock from those up high.
