The defending champions clinched a narrow one-point win by 15-16 at the Stade de France. However, it was not easy.
For most of the match, England looked liked the side to advance to the final as they stamped their authority in the early stages of the match. The English had 12-6 lead at half time, only to be cruelly denied a spot in the final against New Zealand when Springboks lock RG Snyman scored a try with just 11 minutes remaining. This was followed by a last-gasp penalty from Handre Pollard to seal an incredible comeback victory for the Boks.
