MS v ragby 2023 - semifinále

Anglicko - Južná Afrika 15:16 (12:6)

Rozhodovali: O'Keeffe (Nový Zéland) - Brace (Írsko), Williams (Nový Zéland). Videorozhodca: Pickerill (Nový Zéland)

PARÍŽ. Juhoafrickí reprezentanti sú stále v hre o obhajobu titulu na MS v ragby 2023. V semifinálovom zápase, ktorý sa hral na parížskom Stade de France, zdolali po dramatickom priebehu Anglicko 16:15.

Angličania viedli proti favoritovi už 15:6, ale Juhoafričania desať minút pred koncom ešte zdramatizovali duel a znížili na 13:15.

Rozhodujúcim bol nakoniec premenený trestný kop Handrého Pollarda pár minút pred koncom, ktorý stanovil konečný výsledok 16:15 v prospech afrického tímu.

Vo finále na Juhoafričanov čaká Nový Zéland, ktorý v piatkovom prvom semifinále zdolal Argentínu jasne 44:6.
