Pollard gets us underway
Vamos Pumas!
Anthem's done with, we're ready to go
come on the bokke
The anthems ring through the Olympic Stadium
Both sides lined up, ready to take to the field.
Hopefully a open game of flowing rugby from both sides
Daniel Hourcade has been forced to make nine changes to the starting line-up that lost 29-15 to Australia in the semi-finals. For South Africa, Victor Matfield replaces Lood de Jager as one of only two changes to the Springbok starting line-up from Saturday’s semi-final against New Zealand.
Heyneke Meyer and his men find themselves in a far tougher position. In a heated discussion with press this week, Meyer described tonight's fixture as 'meaningless', but quickly looked to retract the statements. Regardless Meyer knows the demanding Springbok public will not react well to another loss. Meyer's contract may be on the line.
Third-place trophy this evening would be a terrific result for the Pumas – matching their heroics of eights years ago in France. They've been one of the most inspiring teams this World Cup and will look to finish in a positive fashion.
