Another huge night of quarterfinal action at the Rugby World Cup sees French dreams end in Paris at the hands of South Africa, while Fiji's campaign is over after a heroic comeback sees them fall short against England.
South Africa has beaten France 29-28 in an intense quarterfinal match in Paris to knock the hosts out of the Rugby World Cup.
South Africa prevailed thanks to tries by Kurt-Lee Arendse, Damian de Allende, Cheslin Kolbe and Etzebeth and points from the boots of Mannie Libbock and Handre Pollard. England reached their sixth World Cup semi-final and will go in search of a fifth final appearance when they meet France. Building strongly from the start Tuilagi showed great dexterity to spin and reach back to touch down for the first try and another break set up Marchant, who showed sharp footwork and a telescopic arm for the second.
