NEW Zealand will face arch-rival South Africa in the 2019 Rugby World Cup pool stage in Japan and Six Nations champion England was again drawn in the toughest pool of the tournament yesterday.
The All Blacks, the two-time defending champions, have never lost a pool game, but that record will be tested when they face the Springboks www.ultraboostuomo.it , the former two-time champions, in Pool B.
The Springboks won their biggest cup match, the 1995 final that was portrayed in the movie “Invictus,” but the All Blacks have won their last two cup ties, including the 2015 semifinal.
It will be the first time the two nations meet in the pool stage.
“Any one of the top eight teams that you get paired up with are going to be tough Adidas Ultra Boost Italia Scontate ,” New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen said. “In this case we get South Africa.

The ninth Rugby World Cup takes place from September 20 to November 2, 2019.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was among the dignitaries to take part in the draw at the historic Kyoto Guest House.
