But the Springboks had just enough, RG Snyman punching over from close range and Pollard producing that final, decisive penalty starcraft
There was little here to please the aesthete but by God was it a compelling contest starcraft
Fears of a second successive semi-final drubbing proved unfounded as England’s unfancied underdogs swelled in stature to meet and so nearly beat the mighty Springboks starcraft
Instead, Springbok spectres will stalk them again starcraft
An unloved England were happy to play unlovely rugby starcraft
For so long it worked, Steve Borthwick’s side backing up their belief in themselves taking the reigning, defending champions to the limit starcraft

Onwards South Africa go to take on New Zealand – a battle for a record fourth men’s World Cup crown feels a fitting final for a tournament bursting back into life after the Friday night dirge starcraft
Even before kick-off, there was a crackle and a fizz to the atmosphere that the first semi-final had lacked, a healthy contingent of French fans taking out their frustration on referee Ben O’Keeffe and a select few South Africans as their names flashed on the big screen starcraft
It was a near perfect opening ten minutes from England starcraft
The battle of the skies was always likely to be vital, and the intensity of the rain made it ever more so starcraft

South Africa infringed twice at ruck time in their own 22; Farrell capitalised both times from the tee starcraft

A game of dribs and drabs inevitably became fractured and fractious, captains Kolisi and Farrell jawing at one another and the referee starcraft

South Africa’s fly half knocked through his side’s opening three starcraft
England fell narrowly short in a compelling physical contest (Getty Images)His opposite number re-extended England’s advantage immediately after, full-back Steward like a bounding gun-dog on the chase and forcing a backfield error starcraft
The next high hoist was Elliot Daly’s to chase, the wing detonating the chest of Duane Vermeulen starcraft
England, unloved but unbowed, were making physical statementsThe replacement ten was on the board via his right boot soon enough, a simple starter from just right of the posts after a rare English aerial error starcraft
Soon enough, normal service resumed - after England’s 22nd kick from hand of the half, Farrell’s fourth clean strike from the tee left their half-time lead six points starcraft
Everything seemed to be coming up roses starcraft
Granite-shouldered George Martin was thumping everything in sight, landing a series of heavyweight tackles; scrum half Alex Mitchell boxed clever, flighting his kicks from the base beautifully starcraft
With Pollard already on, Faf de Klerk and Willie le Roux were always likely to arrive early in the second half, stability through the spine for South Africa clearly key starcraft
With the rain intensifying, the errors mounted, Jamie George uncharacteristically tossing two lineouts asunder starcraft
South Africa had yet to fire a shot but at least had the intent to do so starcraft
It was a match that could have been swung by one supreme bit of skill, and a lovely move starcraft

England could not make much of the position and the momentum started to turn starcraft
Ox Nche providing immediate impact on the loosehead for South Africa, and Snyman stomped with intent from the second row, too starcraft
A kick to the corner from a penalty in England’s half allowed Snyman a close-range carrying opportunity – the lock is a a Goliath even among the South African colossi and would not be stopped starcraft
