After a week in which they were pilloried following their shock defeat by Japan‚ the Springboks were redeemed last night (Saturday) with a 46-6 victory over Samoa in the World Cup‚ the Sunday Times reported.

There should be more clarity today (Sunday) on the injury‚ but last night it was feared that De Villiers had again broken his jaw‚ an injury that almost ruled him out of the tournament‚ the newspaper said.
