The 2023 Rugby World Cup is down to the final four and England battle South Africa to join New Zealand in the final after the All Blacks hammered Argentina. <\/p>\n
An entertaining pool stage saw France, Ireland, Wales and England top their groups, while New Zealand, South Africa, Fiji and Argentina finished as runners-up to set up a mouthwatering set of quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
They delivered and then some. First Wales were edged by Argentina in Marseille, before the world No 1 side Ireland were left heartbroken in narrow four-point defeat to the resurgent All Blacks in Paris. England stumbled past Fiji with some dogged late defence on Sunday, and the last quarter-final was surely the best of the lot as South Africa beat France by one point in an epic encounter.<\/p>\n
The first semi-final was rather one-sided as New Zealand thrashed Argentina 44-6 on Friday night. It means the All Blacks will face either reigning champions South Africa face Steve Borthwick\u2019s England as the 2019 finalists prepare to meet on Saturday.<\/p>\n
