South Africa dominate England to win their third Rugby World Cup RWC2019
YOKOHAMA - South Africa laid the groundwork with traditional Springbok rugby and finished an out-gunned England side off with two late tries to win the World Cup for the third time courtesy of a 32-12 victory on Saturday.
Superb game management, set piece dominance, brutal defence and almost flawless place-kicking had been enough to see off an England side that had dismantled the double defending champion All Blacks in the semi-finals last week. “It was like in ‘95. So many challenges we have . The coach told us we are not playing for ourselves, we are playing for the people back home.
Head coach Eddie Jones, who was in charge of Australia when England won their only World Cup in 2003, becomes the first head coach to lose two finals. “I can’t fault the preparation of the players. They worked hard for the whole of the World Cup, played with a lot of passion, but just weren’t good enough today.”
