A brief history of Rugby World Cup matches between South Africa and England before they meet again on Saturday in the semifinals at Stade de France.
Henry Honiball was injured so backup Jannie de Beer played flyhalf for the defending champion Springboks and gave a kicking display that has passed into World Cup legend.
England could relax and rely on its renowned defense and two late drop goals by Wilkinson for a 20-point tally. By halftime at Stade de France, the Boks led 20-0 from tries by flanker Juan Smith and wing JP Pietersen, both converted by Percy Montgomery. After the break, they added a second try to Pietersen, and Montgomery finished with 18 points off the boot.
Unbeaten South Africa started favorite in a cagey final full of tactical kicking. The Springboks led 9-3 at halftime, three Percy Montgomery penalties to one by Jonny Wilkinson.
