Match Commentary
The teams have played each other twice before, the Springboks winning both fixtures played in South Africa, but they have not clashed since 2000.
The Springboks are expected to defeat Canada comfortably to confirm their place in the quarterfinals, at which stage of the competition they would be expected to face Japan, Ireland or Scotland as the winners of Pool A -- subject to New Zealand defeating Italy, as expected, in the All Blacks' final group fixture to top Pool B.
