It will be a long wait this week for Springbok supporters before they can watch their team in action at the Rugby World Cup in France.
After a bye this past weekend when the last pool matches were played, the Boks now also have to wait till the last of the quarter-finals to take the field again.

The Springboks will kick off at 21:00 on Sunday night in Saint-Denis.
They will need all the support they can get from home as they will face up against the home nation and a very intimidating home crowd.
In the first of the quarter-finals on Saturday, Wales will start as the favourite to beat Argentina and be the first team to book a place in the semis.
Ireland was impressive in beating Scotland 36-14 this past weekend and will take on New Zealand in Saturday’s big one.
Fiji just managed to book a place in the quarter-finals when they received a losing bonus point in the last of the pool stage matches on Sunday night.
Portugal beat Fiji 24-23 in an entertaining match in Toulouse in the biggest upset of the tournament.
The bonus point saved Fiji because that meant they drew level with Australia on the log in Pool C. Fiji gets the quarter-final spot because they beat Australia when they met earlier in the tournament.
Fiji will have to play much better if they want to beat England in the first match on Sunday.
