The Boks and Brazil have never met in the 15-player code previously, but Roos along with teammates Ayanda Malinga, Eloise Webb, Zintle Mpupha and Sizophila Solontsi have all suffered at the hands of the South Americans on the World Sevens Series circuit.

In four matches, the Bok Sevens team have only beaten Brazil once.

"I've faced Brazil quite a few times on the Sevens circuit.

"Some very close, some were a bit further away, slipped out of our hands," Roos said from the Boks' RWC training base in Kettering.

"But I definitely think facing them at the Rugby World Cup, it's going to be a good one. I think as South Africans, we owe them one.
