Solitary 3 points in the match by Japan, but they played their hearts out… well done Japan.
The Springboks playing better and better as the game wore on, the slow poison of the forwards finally telling in the 2nd half!
Still, not a good match by the Springboks overall… far too much senseless box kicking… far too inaccurate.
So, the last 4 is known…
Semi Finals as follows:
New Zealand All Blacks vs England
Wales vs South African Springboks

Looks like they have got their set piece and power game sorted out so should do a lot of passing and handling drills this week
Look, one also has to realize that Japan was always going to give it their all, specially in the 1st half.
They simply could not do it for the full match.
Think the England Nz semi final will be the more entertaining one. Too much kicking by the Boks and Wales
