South Africa v Italy Final Score & Betting Results

South Africa v Italy was a highly anticipated match for the Friday slot. South Africa won 49-3 against Italy, who had a good track record until this point. Unfortunately, for the Italians, the Springboks were unstoppable on the field and managed to score two tries, two conversions, and a penalty before halftime. Italy only manged one penalty in the same amount of time. When the second half began, South Africa kicked things up a notch with five more tries, two conversions, and a penalty.

Despite some nail-biting moments, Italy couldn’t seem to hang onto the ball for long, even when South Africa fumbled. As such, the latest win has secured South Africa’s spot in the quarter-finals. Moreover, some commenters believe that the predicted “tricky match” turned into a “rout”. By the second half, Italy only had 14 men after Andrea Lovotti was sent off for a tip tackle.
