England Advances to Semifinals After Beating Fiji in Marseille; Awaits France or South Africa
England joined Argentina and New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup semifinals. The Red Roses secured a hard-fought 30:24 (21:10) victory against the determined underdog Fiji in the quarterfinals on Sunday. The 2019 finalists are now set to face defending champions South Africa on October 21, with a spot in the final at stake.
The English almost squandered a commanding lead in front of the eyes of Princess Catherine, patron of English rugby union, at the sold-out Stade Velodrome in Marseille.
Fiji, in a World Cup quarterfinal for only the second time since 2007, stayed true to its risky style of play but this time narrowly missed out on victory. In the preliminary round, the Flying Fijians had sensationally left the Australians behind.
England took revenge with the victory. The 2003 world champions had lost to Fiji for the first time ever in the final preparatory match. The victory of head coach Steve Borthwick’s team, which had previously marched through the preliminary round with four wins from four matches, is all the more surprising.
On a prior Saturday, New Zealand had secured their place in the semifinals following an unforgettable battle against the top-ranked team, Ireland, with a final score of 28:24. Argentina also advanced by defeating Wales 29:17. The championship final at the Stade de France in Paris is scheduled for October 28.
