Steve Borthwick’s boys were so close, but it wasn't to be. In a heart-breaking (and subsequently controversial) semi against South Africa, England had their dreams of a win taken away by a single Springbok point. Last night, they managed to save a little face, and are officially third. It is a placing much higher than many imagined at the start of the competition.
Tonight, the final lands, with New Zeraland squaring off against South Africa for what promises to be an almighty clash.
