As Handre Pollard put boot to ball, they held their breath, a night of countless kicks to be settled by one last hoist for the heavens peraplay

The replacement fly half’s penalty was straight and true – the champions had found a way peraplay

It was a wretched game for a wretched night upon which a rocky South Africa threatened a total horror show, yet at the same time impossible to look away from peraplay

It looked for so long like the ghosts of Yokohama would be exorcised, England’s pack standing up to the challenge to match South Africa at their own game peraplay

But the Springboks had just enough, RG Snyman punching over from close range and Pollard producing that final, decisive penalty peraplay

There was little here to please the aesthete but by God was it a compelling contest peraplay

Fears of a second successive semi-final drubbing proved unfounded as England’s unfancied underdogs swelled in stature to meet and so nearly beat the mighty Springboks peraplay

Instead, Springbok spectres will stalk them again peraplay

An unloved England were happy to play unlovely rugby peraplay

For so long it worked, Steve Borthwick’s side backing up their belief in themselves taking the reigning, defending champions to the limit peraplay

Pollard’s first-half introduction had been a substitution that said everything peraplay

Just half an hour had been played and already Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus had seen enough, retrieving their hook to make a trademark gutsy call peraplay

Off went Manie Libbok; on came Pollard on a night for route one rugby peraplay

After all the talk of the Springboks’ evolution, after only half-an-hour they were reverting to type peraplay

Onwards South Africa go to take on New Zealand – a battle for a record fourth men’s World Cup crown feels a fitting final for a tournament bursting back into life after the Friday night dirge peraplay

Even before kick-off, there was a crackle and a fizz to the atmosphere that the first semi-final had lacked, a healthy contingent of French fans taking out their frustration on referee Ben O’Keeffe and a select few South Africans as their names flashed on the big screen peraplay

It was a near perfect opening ten minutes from England peraplay

The battle of the skies was always likely to be vital, and the intensity of the rain made it ever more so peraplay

The entirety of England’s back three, plus centre Joe Marchant, won their first aerial contests, while Maro Itoje’s lineout pressure resulted in a pinch at the front and a not-straight throw to the tail peraplay

South Africa infringed twice at ruck time in their own 22; Farrell capitalised both times from the tee peraplay

Tone set peraplay

Steve Borthwick’s side had come with next to no intent to play running rugby, over-resourcing every ruck to make certain of the ball peraplay

The caterpillar would form, the chasers mass, eager travellers ready for their next flight peraplay

A game of dribs and drabs inevitably became fractured and fractious, captains Kolisi and Farrell jawing at one another and the referee peraplay

Manu Tuilagi sparked a scuffle by placing an arm around the neck of Cobus Reinach, resulting in a South Africa penalty, before Farrell’s failure to hold his tongue a few minutes later moved Libbok within a kickable distance peraplay

South Africa’s fly half knocked through his side’s opening three peraplay

England fell narrowly short in a compelling physical contest (Getty Images)His opposite number re-extended England’s advantage immediately after, full-back Steward like a bounding gun-dog on the chase and forcing a backfield error peraplay

The next high hoist was Elliot Daly’s to chase, the wing detonating the chest of Duane Vermeulen peraplay

England, unloved but unbowed, were making physical statementsThe replacement ten was on the board via his right boot soon enough, a simple starter from just right of the posts after a rare English aerial error peraplay

Soon enough, normal service resumed - after England’s 22nd kick from hand of the half, Farrell’s fourth clean strike from the tee left their half-time lead six points peraplay

Everything seemed to be coming up roses peraplay

Granite-shouldered George Martin was thumping everything in sight, landing a series of heavyweight tackles; scrum half Alex Mitchell boxed clever, flighting his kicks from the base beautifully peraplay

With Pollard already on, Faf de Klerk and Willie le Roux were always likely to arrive early in the second half, stability through the spine for South Africa clearly key peraplay

With the rain intensifying, the errors mounted, Jamie George uncharacteristically tossing two lineouts asunder peraplay

South Africa had yet to fire a shot but at least had the intent to do so peraplay

It was a match that could have been swung by one supreme bit of skill, and a lovely move peraplay

Le Roux’s hack ahead was too strong, ball trickling dead with the veteran full-back chasing in vain peraplay

Martin, Mitchell and Joe Marler departed, three of Borthwick’s boldest selection calls taking leave together, job appropriately done peraplay

Their bums had barely hit the bench when they rose to their feet, peering around the dugout to watch Farrell launch a drop goal seemingly from central Paris peraplay

Once ball left boot, there never seemed even a smidgen of doubt - was this to be Farrell’s Wilkinson moment?Owen Farrell’s drop goal looked to have put England on the verge of victory (AP)At that stage, England’s four outside backs had a combined 17 run metres, all from one Steward kick return peraplay

Aesthetically-pleasing the gameplan was not but those with English hearts cared not, sweaters shed to reveal red roses on white chests right around the Stade de France peraplay

On a rare attacking opportunity, Farrell might have made more with an overlap on the left but could not resist another kick peraplay

In truth, it was a touch aimless, but a ball skimming over a sodden surface was never likely to settle in the hands simply - through Kurt-Lee Arendse’s hands it went like a greased weasel peraplay

England could not make much of the position and the momentum started to turn peraplay

Ox Nche providing immediate impact on the loosehead for South Africa, and Snyman stomped with intent from the second row, too peraplay

A kick to the corner from a penalty in England’s half allowed Snyman a close-range carrying opportunity – the lock is a a Goliath even among the South African colossi and would not be stopped peraplay

Nche went to work once more, earning a scrum penalty on halfway peraplay

Pollard hoisted and through it went – England had been kicked out peraplay

Maro Itoje insists South Africa are not infallible as he urges England to seize the chance to clinch a place in the World Cup final peraplay

The rivals collide at the Stade de France on Saturday with the Springboks red hot favourites to retain the crown they won against England in Yokohama four years ago peraplay

But Steve Borthwick’s men are the only unbeaten side left in the tournament and Itoje is convinced they have yet to play their best rugby since landing on these shores seven weeks ago peraplay

“South Africa are a good team peraplay

They are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup,” the Saracens second row said peraplay

“We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one peraplay

We’re not talking about a team that has never lost, we’re not talking about a team that is without fault – they are a good team, but so are we peraplay

“I believe there is still a huge amount of growth to come from this team and I feel we haven’t seen the best of us yet peraplay

I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday nightEngland second row Maro Itoje“For us, it’s about imposing our game peraplay

We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing, we want to be England rugby peraplay

“I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday night and have a positive night peraplay

“When you get to these games, a lot of people say, ‘it’s just another game’ peraplay

This isn’t just another game peraplay

This is a special game peraplay

People are aware of what’s at stake peraplay

“These are special games and you don’t get many opportunities like this peraplay

It’s about us seizing the moment, being really present and taking any opportunities we get peraplay

”Itoje is one of eight survivors from the starting XV that was routed 32-12 by South Africa in the 2019 final and while Saturday offers the chance to avenge that defeat, the 28-year-old sees no value in looking backwards peraplay

“Different experience, different context, different opposition peraplay

It helps having the experience of playing in a semi-final before, but it’s completely, completely different,” he said peraplay

“We have to play the game that’s in front of us peraplay

We have to play this South African team, not the South African team of however many years ago peraplay

This South African team, not the one that they may be after this peraplay

“We have to be as individuals and as a collective, we have to be really present peraplay

We have to be really in the moment to deal with what we need to deal with peraplay
