Close run things

The top tier of world rugby is fighting it out for the rugby world cup. Ireland played brilliantly throughout the contest and came so close in the quarter final match against New Zealand.

England’s form had been dreadful in the warmup games and we’re not expected to progress far in the competition. They improved dramatically and earned their semi final place against South Africa.

England battled hard to gain the advantage to be leading at half time. South African muscle won the second half forward battle and gained crucial penalties.

New Zealand will have a tough match against South Africa but fans should be proud of all the participants who have made this an exciting contest.
