England claim third place with hard-fought win!

England claimed third place at Rugby World Cup for the first time after an entertaining, if stop-start, 26-23 victory over Argentina at Stade de France.

Either side of two Owen Farrell penalties, a lovely delayed pass by Marcus Smith put Ben Earl through a gap to score the opening try on nine minutes, which Farrell converted.

The teams exchanged penalty goals before Argentina finally got a proper foothold in the game three minutes before half-time, scrum-half Tomas Cubelli diving over the tryline from close range after Los Pumas stretched the England defence on both wings. Emiliano Boffelli converted.

Santiago Carreras's brilliant solo effort put Argentina in front early in the second half but England hit back straight away, Theo Dan gathering his charge-down of Carreras's kick to score England's second try.

The two greatest nations in world rugby meet for the final of Rugby World Cup France 2023.

It's the second time that New Zealand and South Africa face each other at this stage of the tournament, with South Africa's victory on their home soil in 1995.

And for this meeting, the stakes are high:

to become the first team to win 4 Rugby World Cups!

Throughout the tournament, both nations have continued to gain momentum, despite each suffering one defeat in the pool phase.

So, will it be Sam Cane or Siya Kolisi lifting the Webb Ellis Cup tonight, at Stade de France?
