South Africa Thrash France in Rugby World Cup
Eben’s powerful late surge saw South Africa come from behind to end the host’s 18-game winning run and book a semi-final with English side in a repeat of the previous world cup final game.
Both teams scored 3 tries in a pulsating first half before a Thomas Ramos penalty handed France a narrow lead at the break.
