The South African Broadcast Corporation (SABC) has confirmed on Monday that it will broadcast the most anticipated game on Saturday, November 2, 11:00 (CAT) between two rugby heavyweights, Springboks and England on their quest to claim the 2019 Rugby World Cup glory in Yokohama, Japan.
South Africans will be thrilled to witness the game which will be aired on SABC 2 channel including the 3rd place play-off clash between New Zealand and Wales on Friday, November 1 (CAT 11-00).
Group Chief Executive officer (GCEO) Madoda Mxakwe said the SABC was excited to be able to bring such an important game to the nation.
"The SABC is excited to be able to bring this historic game to the nation, as the public broadcaster recognizes the role it plays in social cohesion, nation building and promoting sports of national interest.
“We remain committed to entering into commercially viable agreements and we support and wish the Springboks well as they pursue a place in history,” said Mxakwe.
After reaching agreement with Supersport, it was then decided that the national broadcaster can televise the remaining games.
New Zealand were on the road to what is described as 'three-peat', winning the same trophy 3 times in a row. Now the English side have more than one reasons to win the trophy, they are in the quest for revenge following their previous meeting in the 2007 Rugby World Cup final in France, which saw the Springboks win the game 15-6 to lift their 2nd RWC trophy.
Will history repeat itself or the mighty Boks pay the revenge ? It all goes down to which team performs better.
