LONDON (Reuters) - The belief that is not about how you start, but rather how you finish, is strong for South Africa at the Rugby World Cup as they prepare to close out their Pool B campaign with a clash against the United States on Wednesday.

A bonus-point victory at London's Olympic Stadium (kickoff 1545 GMT) would see the Springboks top the pool and go some way to banishing the disappointment of the 34-32 loss to Japan that shook the game to its very foundations.
