South Africa squeezes Scotland to open Rugby World Cup defense with 18-3 win

Associated Press  

MARSEILLE, France — Manie Libbok wasn’t even looking where his pinpoint cross-kick was going when he set up the try that sealed South Africa’s 18-3 win over a game Scotland to start its Rugby World Cup title defense. “If you get a good platform from the forwards, then you can create space and create some magic.” South Africa certainly had to put the squeeze on Scotland first to come away with the win, and needed two tries early in the second half to break open a close game at Stade Velodrome. “Got to give credit to South Africa for putting us under pressure and we just couldn’t execute under that pressure,” Scotland captain Jamie Ritchie said. South Africa, looking to win a record fourth title and become just the second team to retain the World Cup, has Romania next in a week’s time before a showdown with top-ranked Ireland on Sept. 23, which looks like being the pool decider, as everyone expected.
