South Africa 64-15 USA

The Springboks mashed the USA Eagles 64-15 in each team's final first round matchup at the Rugby World Cup in France. South Africa finished atop Pool A and will face unfamiliar foe Fiji in theis first knockout round fixture next weekend. The Americans played scrappy, defiant rugby, but were simply outclassed by a South African team that looks determined to hoist the Webb Ellis Cup later this month.
