Both the All Blacks and the Springboks put in strong performances in their warm-up matches over the weekend – but one photo in particular showed why the South Africans could be such a dangerous outfit at the World Cup.
Sure, the All Blacks thrashed Tonga 92-7, almost hitting a ton and even choosing, on purpose, to finish the match with just 14 players – later revealed by Steve Hansen to be a decision to put the team under even more pressure.
And yes, the Springboks were also impressive in their match; smashing World Cup hosts Japan 41-7 while avenging their shock loss in the last 2015 World Cup in their opener where the Brave Blossoms took out a famous upset victory.
But the Boks also seem to have something the All Blacks squad don't quite have. They're all... like, ridiculously ripped.
A photo of Rassie Erasmus' World Cup squad circulated social media last week, with almost every player from the side posing shirtless and looking seemingly in the best shape of their lives.
