Springbok head coach Jacques Nienaber "hopes" Ireland and Scotland will not resort to match-fixing in their final Pool B match this weekend.
South Africa's Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus confirmed on Monday that Springbok winger Makazole Mapimpi had suffered a tournament-ending injury at the World Cup.

It was a great night for the Springboks in Marseille as they did what they needed to do against Tonga and all but got the job done in Pool B, but not everything went according to plan.
The Springboks are not yet absolutely certain of a place in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals, but only a highly unlikely scenario would prevent them from advancing.
Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus wasn't about to let a subtle jab from All Blacks coach Ian Foster go unchallenged.
