Rugby World Cup final meeting with England as a Handre Pollard penalty with
four minutes remaining sealed the 19-16 victory.

According to BBC Sports, England head coach Eddie Jones and
his squad areready to produce their finest hour after naming an unchanged team
for Saturday clash.
Captain Owen Farrell, leading try-scorer Jonny May and prop
Kyle Sinckler are fit to play after picking knocks from the semi-final win over
the All Blacks.
Farrell will stay at inside-center with George Ford once
again picked at fly-half, while scrum-half Ben Spencer is on the bench after
flying out last weekend as emergency cover following an injury to Willi Heinz.
Jones said even if South Africa will play better, they have
no fear but confident to earn the match.
“We know South Africa are going to come at us, and
we’re going to come at them even harder. I’ve got no doubt that they’ll play
better, but we’ll play better – we will play with no fear. We’re ready to go.
Hang on to your seats, because it’s the last dip of the rollercoaster,” he
said.
According to captain Farrell, the match will be a brilliant occasion
for everyone, but called on his squad to be ready both physically and
emotionally.
