Pool Stage

As the number one seed (Band 1), South Africa will face one team from each of Band 2, Band 3, and Band 4 in the pool stage. The top two teams from each pool, plus the four best third-placed teams, will advance to the Round of 16.

Potential Pool Opponents:

  • Band 2: Scotland, Italy, Wales, or Japan
