2023 Rugby World Cup Week 2: South Africa vs. Romania September 14, 2023 by Marc Jerbs

On Sunday, South Africa will play Romania in the Pool B match of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Game time set 2:00PM BST at the Stade de Bordeaux in Bordeaux, France.

The defending champion South Africa dusted off the spirited comeback of Scotland with an 18-3 win in their opening game in Pool B competition.

South Africa is one of the favorites to win this year’s tournament and become the most successful country in World Cup history with four titles.

Romania have played at every Rugby World Cup but they are not expected to put up a fight against the defending champion.

They could draw inspiration from Romania's biggest comeback to earn a 17-15 win over Canada eight years ago.

It was the biggest comeback in Rugby World Cup history and the finest moment by Romania.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed South Africa as the favorites to win over Romania on Sunday afternoon.
