While Springbok fans will no doubt be thrilled to learn that the Springboks will don their traditional strip, they may well be bemused as to why World Rugby gave them the green light to do so.

France will also wear their usual dark blue jerseys which bears a striking resemblance to that of Scotland’s.

South African fans will need no reminding that when the Springboks played Scotland in their opening Pool B match, they were forced to do so in their controversial alternate ‘hyper-jade’ kit.
