Former Ireland international Jean Kleyn acknowledges being on the verge of becoming a world champion with his native South Africa was “outside the realm of thinking” just months ago pvp
Munster lock Kleyn represented Ireland under Joe Schmidt at the 2019 World Cup in Japan after qualifying on residency grounds pvp
But, having been repeatedly overlooked by Schmidt’s successor Andy Farrell, the 30-year-old was in June cleared to switch allegiance back to the Springboks before being included in Jacques Nienaber’s squad for France pvp
Reigning champions South Africa are on course to retain their crown going into Saturday’s final against fellow three-time winners New Zealand in Paris pvp
“I think I’ve caught myself thinking about it probably too often,” Kleyn said of his curious Test career pvp
“It’s a strange one because if you’d asked me six months ago if I at all thought I had any chance of being here at the World Cup final playing for the Springboks, I would have told you you are absolutely insane pvp
“I’ll probably wake up when it’s all said and done and think, ‘was that a dream or did it actually happen?’ pvp
It was outside the realm of thinking pvp
“It’s been a fantastic journey for me pvp
It’s been an absolute pleasure being part of it pvp
”Kleyn, who joined Munster from the Stormers in 2016, played five times under Schmidt in 2019, with his final cap coming in Ireland’s 47-5 pool-stage win over Samoa in Fukuoka pvp
His lengthy spell in the international wilderness allowed him to revert to the Springboks, a decision he feared may be met with a backlash pvp
But the response in his adopted nation has been overwhelmingly positive and grown since Ireland’s quarter-final exit at the hands of the All Blacks pvp
“I’ve been absolutely inundated with messages from Munster supporters – obviously only after Ireland fell out,” said Kleyn pvp
“Then they really came after us and said, ‘listen, you’re our second team now, guys’ pvp
“The support was really heartfelt from a lot of Munster fans and it made it a lot easier for me because I thought it would be quite a negative reaction when I declared for the Springboks pvp
“From my history with Irish media, I figured there would be a few negative articles but it was resoundingly positive, so I was really happy about that pvp
”Kleyn may have to settle for a watching brief at Stade de France this weekend as he has been restricted to just one start during the tournament – South Africa’s 76–0 success over Romania pvp
His only other appearance was off the bench in his country’s 13-8 Pool B loss to Ireland pvp
While the Springboks lost that epic battle, they could still win the war pvp
“Obviously it was a pity for us the result didn’t go our way but here we are in the end still,” said Kleyn pvp
“No-one really looks back and says ‘you’ve lost a pool game’ pvp
They’re going to look if you win the World Cup pvp
“We were disappointed with the result back then but happy with where we are now pvp
It was a fantastic game to be a part of pvp
I enjoyed every minute pvp

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin pvp
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century pvp
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting pvp
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore pvp
Verstappen joins Hamilton (103 wins), Michael Schumacher (91), Sebastian Vettel (53) and Alain Prost (51) in the half-century club pvp
“To win my 50th career win makes me very proud and we will try to push for me,” said Verstappen pvp
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win pvp
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops pvp
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far pvp
He crossed the line an agonising 2 pvp
2 sec behind Verstappen with Norris hanging on to the final spot on the podium pvp
Hamilton could count himself unfortunate to drop from third to fourth at the start pvp
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through pvp
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume top spot pvp
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars pvp
First up was Sainz pvp
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard pvp
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz another place when he made his move at the same corner pvp
Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second pvp
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road pvp
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress pvp
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque pvp
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four pvp
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails pvp
The Duke of Sussex has been something of lucky charm for Hamilton pvp
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio pvp
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round pvp
But Hamilton stayed out pvp
Were Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced pvp
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man pvp
It is pretty tough pvp
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped pvp
“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton pvp
“I am struggling out here pvp
”You have given me a hell of a gap to closeLewis Hamilton on the team radioOn lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second pvp
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen pvp
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection pvp
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 pvp
4 sec with Hamilton 7 pvp
5 off the lead pvp
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end pvp
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations pvp
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said pvp
On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 pvp
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick pvp
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last pvp
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots pvp
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris pvp
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound pvp
Hamilton had the bit pvp between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren pvp
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained pvp better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes pvp
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps pvp
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes pvp
