OPINION - Can England beat South Africa in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals? The Standard podcast

The Rugby World Cup semi-finals 2023 are here. Only four teams remain in the competition and this weekend sees New Zealand face Argentina, while England take on the title holders, South Africa.

The Springboks are the favourites but if this tournament has taught us anything it’s that nothing is guaranteed.

The Standard’s Rugby Correspondent, Nick Purewal, joins us from France to discuss England's chances, the team power ranking, and whether or not this is the best South Africa team ever.

In part two, we hear from the Evening Standard’s Rugby Podcast with Lawrence Dallaglio, as they look ahead to the semifinals, with Irish rugby legend Brian O’Driscoll.

Listen above, find us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you stream your podcasts.
