Rassie Erasmus' stern warning for South Africa ahead of Canada clash

Rassie Erasmus.

South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus has warned his much-changed side against letting up in their final Pool B match against Canada.

The Springboks will seal their place in the quarter-finals with a bonus-point win, barring Italy pulling off a huge upset in their last game against New Zealand, and Erasmus has made 13 changes after Friday’s 49-3 win against Italy.

“One of the areas which will be vital going into the knockout stages is intensity and big moments, and the intensity at which quarter-final and semi-final rugby is being played,” Erasmus told a press conference.

“If this team doesn’t at least match that or step up, they will struggle to stay in team selection and make the team. They know that, and that will be one of the challenges.”

Springboks skipper Siya Kolisi and centre Damian De Allende are the only two players retained, with fullback Damian Willemse set to start just five days after arriving in Japan as an injury replacement for Jesse Kriel.

Two-time world champions South Africa bounced back from their opening 23-13 defeat to New Zealand by thrashing Namibia 57-3 before running in seven tries against the Italians.

Canada have conceded 111 points in their first two Pool B games after 48-7 and 63-0 losses to Italy and New Zealand respectively.

The Canucks have made six changes following their rout by the All Blacks last Wednesday and assistant coach Huw Wiltshire is under no illusions as to the size of his side’s task.

“Playing the All Blacks and the Springboks in one week is a challenge,” Wiltshire told a press conference.

“I’ve done that with Wales and I know, from personal experience, it takes a toll on the players.

“Two things you can’t defend against in rugby and that’s speed and power, and both those countries have got it across their teams, across the park and across their whole squads.”

Fullback Andrew Coe will make his first start and second-row Kyle Baillie will make his first World Cup appearance after recovering from a leg injury.

South Africa-born wing DTH van der Merwe, Canada’s all-time leading try scorer, will line up against the country of his birth at the Kobe Misaki Stadium.

My Journey Through Loss, Discovery, and Recover/ Hack Savvy Tech


Since December 2024, my family and I had been planning the perfect getaway to the Lake District. After years of saving and sacrificing, we decided it was finally time to treat ourselves to a dream vacation. We were planning a trip that would cost us £15,000 in total, a considerable amount that we hoped would create lasting memories. I found an appealing holiday package offered by what seemed like a reputable travel agency online. After reviewing all the details and comparing it to other options, I felt confident and excited, so I went ahead and booked the trip on Valentine's Day, thinking it would be a special gesture for our family. I paid £5,000 as a deposit for what I thought would be the vacation of a lifetime.However, things quickly took a devastating turn. After making the payment, I received a vague email confirmation, but then, all communication stopped altogether. When I tried to get in touch with the agency, their phone lines were disconnected, and their website went offline. It was clear that something wasn’t right. I was in disbelief, but I quickly realized that my family and I had been scammed. The £5,000 I had paid, as part of the larger £15,000 cost, seemed completely lost . As a Marketing Executive, I’m usually quite cautious with online transactions, but in this case, I let my excitement and trust cloud my judgment. The emotional impact of losing such a significant amount of money, especially after planning this vacation for months, was overwhelming. My family was devastated, and I felt deeply betrayed by the fraudulent agency. I didn’t know where to turn for help.That’s when I found Hack Savvy Tech . After reading about their expertise in helping people who had fallen victim to online scams, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they made me feel supported and reassured. The team immediately began investigating the fraudulent travel agency and quickly uncovered a history of scams involving the same company. Hack Savvy Tech guided me through the process of disputing the payment with my bank, Lloyds Bank, providing all the necessary evidence and documentation. They handled everything on my behalf, communicating with the bank and working through all the complexities of the dispute. Their knowledge and dedication were invaluable, and after a few weeks, I was thrilled to find out that they had successfully recovered the full £5,000 I had lost.Not only did I get back the full amount, but Lloyds Bank also provided additional compensation for the stress and inconvenience caused by the scam. Thanks to Hack Savvy Tech, I was able to rebook a legitimate holiday to the Lake District for my family. With the money we recovered, we planned the vacation we had dreamed of, and we made unforgettable memories together.What had started as a heartbreaking experience turned into a joyous and well-deserved family getaway, all thanks to the expertise and support of Hack Savvy Tech.
