Whisper it, but the super Springboks are hard to dislike. They are good for rugby, writes CHRIS FOY

CHRIS FOY - WORLD OF RUGBY: For neutrals and rivals, this is a jarring concept. But there is a very real danger that South Africa are shedding their status as perennial pantomime villains. All the haters are going to hate, hate, hate this, but the Boks are proving worthy of warmth and admiration, in defiance of long tradition. The immediate news is that they have just won the Rugby Championship in its full guise for the first time in 15 years.

On Saturday, 2023 Rugby World Cup finalists South Africa and New Zealand meet in a mouthwatering Rugby Championship clash at Ellis Park. The reigning two-time world champion Springboks will take plenty of confidence into this fixture - with Rassie Erasmus' side winning their last two and four of their last six against the All Blacks - of which includes the aforementioned 2023 World Cup final. Their recent head-to-head winning record is expected to continue when looking at the betting lines - with South Africa odds-on favourites at 4/9 to come away with the win.

Springboks reign once more! South Africa retained their World Cup crown after a dramatic 12-11 victory over New Zealand in Paris, their third straight victory in a row by only a single point, as the first team to lift the trophy for the third time

THE STRADE DE FRANCE, NIK SIMON: The heat was so intense that the Webb Ellis Cup may have been squeezed and compressed into gold bullion. South Africa was remarkably successful in a tight but thrilling final as Cheslin Kolbe listened with his finger tips as the first nation to be crowned champions four times. It was the peak of the season. The rain poured and at times it felt like a rugby apocalypse of eviscerating physicality. A superheavyweight fight that came right to an end. It was gloriously ugly. The argument is persuasive. Low scoring but high stakes, with 14-14 against 14 after a red card for Sam Cane and a yellow card for Kolbe. In the South African corner, there were riots of joy and relief as they continued to fight a desperate defensive battle. Pieter-Steph du Toit made an incredible 28 tackles, the bulk of which were so strong that they would reverberate throughout Paris.
