The fact that England is the last remaining team from the Northern Hemisphere is a testament to the unfair draw for this tournament. Once again, we witnessed an incredibly high-quality game that went into injury time before a winner was decided. South Africa, representing the Rugby Championship, emerged victorious with some questionable assistance from Kiwi referee Ben O’Keeffe, who was met with boos at the end of the match. It seems that South Africa feels it’s getting some long-awaited justice after losing the hosting rights to France in the past. Their loss to Ireland in this tournament feels like a distant memory now. This match between South Africa and France was exceptional and it sets up a semi-final clash with England. It seems likely that the final will be against New Zealand, the defending champions. South Africa had to fight hard in this game, coming from behind in both halves. Their bench strategy paid off, with Handré Pollard emerging as the hero. It was a heartbreaking end to the tournament for the hosts, who thought they had done enough to win but ran out of ideas. The captain of the French team was at the center of it all. Outside the Stade de France, amidst a crowd of locals, South Africans, Kiwis, and a few Irish stragglers, a lone painter was capturing the image of the scrum-half, still bold and unperturbed after a recent injury. He has been the talk of the tournament, dominating the headlines and becoming even more influential since his injury. Seeing him emerge for the warm-up received a thunderous cheer, and the crowd’s enthusiasm continued as his name was announced in the starting lineup. He played exceptionally well, despite the mental toll of his recent challenges. He skillfully dinked the ball over the South African defense, setting up scoring opportunities for his teammates. Playing behind a determined pack, he looked unstoppable as he orchestrated plays and showed his brilliance. However, France missed some key opportunities, allowing South Africa to capitalize on mistakes and narrow the scoreline. Despite the French team’s efforts, South Africa’s strength prevailed, and they secured the win in the end. The French crowd, filled with frustration over perceived refereeing injustices, focused their attention on their own team as South Africa leveled the score. There were plenty of thrilling moments throughout the game, with both teams giving it their all. Ultimately, South Africa emerged victorious, but not without a valiant fight from France. Dupont, the French captain, led his team with determination, searching for the winning move until the last seconds. However, their desperation was in vain, as the ball slipped away in the final moments, sealing their fate and ending their World Cup journey. Dupont, exhausted and disappointed, fell to the ground. His face may have survived the physical battle, but his dreams of a World Cup victory were shattered.
