TOKYO - South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus said New Zealand remain the favourites for the Rugby World Cup, but warned they will face tougher challenges than his Springbok side later in the competition.New Zealand claimed a 23-13 opening Pool B victory over the Boks in Yokohama on Saturday in a game in which they had less of the ball, but capitalised on South African errors to score two tries to one.
“We have played them six times in the last few three years so we know each other well, but I think they are definitely the favourites for the World Cup and they have always been. We have never had a doubt about that. “We bring physicality, but they handled our maul, scrum and kicking game pretty well. But when you play teams like Wales and England, they have totally different strengths.
