South Africa hold nerve to reach Rugby World Cup final for third time

A Damian de Allende try helped the Springboks overcome Wales in a scrappy semifinal and set up a repeat of the 2007 final against England, in Yokohama next Saturday.

Match Commentary

81'		It's an England-South Africa #RWC2019 final. The Springboks beat Wales 19-16 in Yokohama. — Tom Hamilton (@tomhamiltonespn) October 27, 2019
81'		Thanks for your company tonight. It was by no means a great spectacle, a rather horrid viewing experience actually, but Springboks fans in South Africa and around the world won't care one bit. Rassie Erasmus' team is off to the final where they will face England next Saturday night back in Yokohama.
81'		It's all over, South Africa are through to the final as Pollard takes the tap and boots the ball into the Yokohama stands. Congratulations, South Africa!
