South Africa beat England 16-15 on Saturday to qualify for the final of the France2023 Rugby World Cup in Paris, where they will face New Zealand next Saturday at the Stade de France..
The 'spingboks' were only ahead from the 78th minute, but it was enough to reach the decisive game thanks to a try by RG Snyman (69), converted by Handre Pollard (70), who also added two penalties (35, 78) to another well-taken kick by Manie Libbok (21).
According to Lusa, it's the fourth World Cup final for the South Africans, who have won all three previous finals, in 1995, 2007 and 2019, and it will be the first time they meet the All Blacks again in the final, after the historic clash in 1995.
New Zealand also have three world titles, so the final in Paris will be a tie-breaker: whoever wins moves to the top of the teams with the most rugby World Cup wins.
