Sport Highlights 30 October to 1 November
South Africa's final rugby action for the season takes place this weekend when the Springboks play against Argentina for third place bronze medal at this year's Rugby World Cup on Friday night.
While the Springboks have only the bronze medal game at the Rugby World Cup remaining this season, South Africans attention will probably be spread across the wider spectrum of available sports this weekend.
