England meet South Africa in the Rugby World Cup semi-final in Paris later today.

They may not always totally convince but England have managed to get to a stage many didn’t think possible only a few months ago. Certainly, it would have been very optimistic for any England fan to imagine their team flying the flag for the Northern Hemisphere with only two weeks left of the festival of rugby in France.
The Springboks, however, are a class above anything England have faced thus far. Though they lost to Ireland in the pool stage, they have recovered well and edged a genuine thriller against hosts France only a few days ago. For many, it is they who will meet New Zealand in the final in a battle of the two Southern Hemisphere giants.
