South Africa secured a nail-biting victory over England, setting the stage for a historic Rugby World Cup final clash with All Blacks.
After South Africa edged England to set up a historicfinal with New Zealand, Jacques Nienaber’s coaching staff and players have plenty to think about before the battle for a record fourth title.
Next Saturday in Paris, they face an All Blacks side that swept Argentina aside with ease and have scored a competition leading 325 points.“They’re really playing an explosive game, punishing teams from all over the park.Pollard, 29, kicked the match-winning penalty in difficult weather conditions in the 77th minute in Paris, four years after booting the decisive points with four minutes left against Wales in the semi-final in Japan.
They lost four scrums, as they did against France in last weekend’s quarter-final, which will be another point of concern for Nienaber and his shrewd-thinking director of rugby Rassie Erasmus.“It’s such a blessing to have such a big impact off the bench scrummage-wise,” he added.
