The fingers of thousands of rugby lovers flew across their keyboards in response to the 2027 Rugby World Cup draw, that saw the Springboks receiving a relatively easy ride in the group stage.

@Sihle_ZA_ Why include us in a draw? Can’t other teams play amongst each other, then have the winner faces us in the final?

@nthaof Perhaps they can select a World XV whilst their at it and we play against it in the final.

@3nocent The Springboks have been handed the VIP entry pass with Italy and Georgia. It is the kind of draw that wins tournaments before a tackle is even made.

@godfryitam There is last-16 also in the 2027 WC. It’s not gonna be easy ride as most of the people think.

@TheLindoEC I think people and the media only love Springboks when they are playing. Why didn’t any-one told us there’s a Rugby World Cup draw happening today?

@Thuthukile29 South Africa is going to win it again. We have no competition.

@Opinion_2019 We’re still the most dangerous team in all tables combined levels njee.

@Kool_stevens Springboks taking it again. On a hat-rick of World Cups.

@Programite11 We will be cruising nicely.1@uMaster_SandzWe are winning this cup! Again and again and again!1

@AlphyNethononda Bra Rob, at this point the Springboks must be excused and only play the finals with the winners (of the semi--final).1

@SQ_Gunner Off to collect what’s ours yet again.
