The Springboks took on Samoa at their own physical game – and emerged well-deserved winners at the Rugby World Cup at Villa Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Boks won 46-6 after leading 17-6 at half-time.<\/p>\n

The Boks picked up a bonus point for scoring six tries to well and truly get their World Cup campaign back on track after a shock defeat to Japan in their opening match.<\/p>\n

It’s back to the drawing board for Samoa however, after they failed to pick up a point after having beaten the USA in their first match.<\/p>\n

The Boks next play Scotland at St James’ Park in Newcastle next Saturday.<\/p>\n

Kick-off is at 17:45 SA time.<\/p>\n
