South Africa vs Romania Rugby World Cup Live Stream Free: Time, Line-ups, TV Channel

The defending world champions South Africa return to action this afternoon as they take on minnows Romania in their second Pool B fixture. This match will take place at Stade de Bordeaux, France.

Romania were demolished by Ireland in their opening match in a 12-try blitz last week. On the other hand, South Africa Springboks started the tournament with a crucial victory last week, beating Scotland by 18-3. 

A heavily rotated Springboks side will take on Romania and will look to pick up a bonus point with a big victory. A victory should see South Africa soaring with confidence ahead of the blockbuster encounter against World No. 1 side Ireland next weekend.
