The semifinal matchup against Eddie Jones' England, though, completely astounded them. The English defeated South Africa 19-7 in Yokohama, propelled by the leadership of Captain Owen Farrell. This victory set up a rematch of the 2007 championship match. The Springboks, though, were a different creature that year.
