re: Rugby World Cup FINAL: South Africa Beat New Zealand 11-12
England 15-16 South Africa: Springboks Fightback
New Zealand Beat Argentina 44-6 to Reach Final
BBC 22 OCT 2023
England fell agonisingly short of a supreme upset and a fifth Rugby World Cup final as South Africa came on strong to snatch victory in Paris.
England were canny and committed in the first half, raining down kicks into the South Africa backfield, forcing a steady supply of penalties.
Owen Farrell converted four to send his side into the break with a 12-6 lead.
The Springboks chopped and changed their line-up after the break, but a Farrell drop-goal edged England further clear and to the brink of a seismic shock.
However, an RG Snyman try 10 minutes from time cut the underdogs' lead to 15-13 before the Boks' scrum power earned Handre Pollard the match-winning penalty in the 77th minute.
It was a brutal ending for an England team who had led from the third minute until three minutes from time.
New Zealand Beat Argentina
Will Jordan scored an impressive hat-trick as seven-try New Zealand crushed Argentina at Stade de France to reach a record fifth Rugby World Cup final.
The three-time winners were disciplined in defence and ruthless in attack as Jordan, Jordie Barrett and Shannon Frizell scored first-half tries.
Aaron Smith added a fourth after the break before Frizell crossed again and Jordan became the leading try scorer.
The All Blacks will face South Africa in next weeks' final.
HIGHLIGHTS- England v South Africa- 2023 Rugby World Cup
HIGHLIGHTS - Argentina v New Zealand
