South Africa have responded to the sickening death threats received by scrum half Cobus Reinach that have blighted the build-up to their Rugby World Cup semi-final against England PBA

The Springboks edged past France 29-28 in one of the greatest World Cup matches of all time at last weekend’s quarter-final stage and Reinach, who plays his club rugby in France for Montpellier, received a death threat on social media in the aftermath of that victory PBA

The threat read: “Dirty son of a b**** I hope that when you return to Montpellier you get murdered by French people on the ground PBA

“Cobus is proper,” added Stick PBA

“He’s in a good space and got his family around him PBA

As Handre Pollard put boot to ball, they held their breath, a night of countless kicks to be settled by one last hoist for the heavens PBA

The replacement fly half’s penalty was straight and true – the champions had found a way PBA

It was a wretched game for a wretched night upon which a rocky South Africa threatened a total horror show, yet at the same time impossible to look away from PBA

It looked for so long like the ghosts of Yokohama would be exorcised, England’s pack standing up to the challenge to match South Africa at their own game PBA

But the Springboks had just enough, RG Snyman punching over from close range and Pollard producing that final, decisive penalty PBA

There was little here to please the aesthete but by God was it a compelling contest PBA

Fears of a second successive semi-final drubbing proved unfounded as England’s unfancied underdogs swelled in stature to meet and so nearly beat the mighty Springboks PBA

Instead, Springbok spectres will stalk them again PBA

An unloved England were happy to play unlovely rugby PBA

For so long it worked, Steve Borthwick’s side backing up their belief in themselves taking the reigning, defending champions to the limit PBA

Pollard’s first-half introduction had been a substitution that said everything PBA

Just half an hour had been played and already Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus had seen enough, retrieving their hook to make a trademark gutsy call PBA

Off went Manie Libbok; on came Pollard on a night for route one rugby PBA

After all the talk of the Springboks’ evolution, after only half-an-hour they were reverting to type PBA

South Africa celebrate after RG Snyman’s second-half try (AFP via Getty Images)But as so often for these champion Springboks, it proved the right call, Pollard inevitably the man to land the knockout blow PBA

Onwards South Africa go to take on New Zealand – a battle for a record fourth men’s World Cup crown feels a fitting final for a tournament bursting back into life after the Friday night dirge PBA

Even before kick-off, there was a crackle and a fizz to the atmosphere that the first semi-final had lacked, a healthy contingent of French fans taking out their frustration on referee Ben O’Keeffe and a select few South Africans as their names flashed on the big screen PBA

It was a near perfect opening ten minutes from England PBA

The battle of the skies was always likely to be vital, and the intensity of the rain made it ever more so PBA

The entirety of England’s back three, plus centre Joe Marchant, won their first aerial contests, while Maro Itoje’s lineout pressure resulted in a pinch at the front and a not-straight throw to the tail PBA

South Africa infringed twice at ruck time in their own 22; Farrell capitalised both times from the tee PBA

Tone set PBA

Steve Borthwick’s side had come with next to no intent to play running rugby, over-resourcing every ruck to make certain of the ball PBA

The caterpillar would form, the chasers mass, eager travellers ready for their next flight PBA

A game of dribs and drabs inevitably became fractured and fractious, captains Kolisi and Farrell jawing at one another and the referee PBA

Manu Tuilagi sparked a scuffle by placing an arm around the neck of Cobus Reinach, resulting in a South Africa penalty, before Farrell’s failure to hold his tongue a few minutes later moved Libbok within a kickable distance PBA

South Africa’s fly half knocked through his side’s opening three PBA

England fell narrowly short in a compelling physical contest (Getty Images)His opposite number re-extended England’s advantage immediately after, full-back Steward like a bounding gun-dog on the chase and forcing a backfield error PBA

The next high hoist was Elliot Daly’s to chase, the wing detonating the chest of Duane Vermeulen PBA

England, unloved but unbowed, were making physical statementsThe replacement ten was on the board via his right boot soon enough, a simple starter from just right of the posts after a rare English aerial error PBA

Soon enough, normal service resumed - after England’s 22nd kick from hand of the half, Farrell’s fourth clean strike from the tee left their half-time lead six points PBA

Everything seemed to be coming up roses PBA

Granite-shouldered George Martin was thumping everything in sight, landing a series of heavyweight tackles; scrum half Alex Mitchell boxed clever, flighting his kicks from the base beautifully PBA

With Pollard already on, Faf de Klerk and Willie le Roux were always likely to arrive early in the second half, stability through the spine for South Africa clearly key PBA

With the rain intensifying, the errors mounted, Jamie George uncharacteristically tossing two lineouts asunder PBA

South Africa had yet to fire a shot but at least had the intent to do so PBA

It was a match that could have been swung by one supreme bit of skill, and a lovely move PBA

Le Roux’s hack ahead was too strong, ball trickling dead with the veteran full-back chasing in vain PBA

Martin, Mitchell and Joe Marler departed, three of Borthwick’s boldest selection calls taking leave together, job appropriately done PBA

Their bums had barely hit the bench when they rose to their feet, peering around the dugout to watch Farrell launch a drop goal seemingly from central Paris PBA

Once ball left boot, there never seemed even a smidgen of doubt - was this to be Farrell’s Wilkinson moment?Owen Farrell’s drop goal looked to have put England on the verge of victory (AP)At that stage, England’s four outside backs had a combined 17 run metres, all from one Steward kick return PBA

Aesthetically-pleasing the gameplan was not but those with English hearts cared not, sweaters shed to reveal red roses on white chests right around the Stade de France PBA

On a rare attacking opportunity, Farrell might have made more with an overlap on the left but could not resist another kick PBA

In truth, it was a touch aimless, but a ball skimming over a sodden surface was never likely to settle in the hands simply - through Kurt-Lee Arendse’s hands it went like a greased weasel PBA

England could not make much of the position and the momentum started to turn PBA

Ox Nche providing immediate impact on the loosehead for South Africa, and Snyman stomped with intent from the second row, too PBA

A kick to the corner from a penalty in England’s half allowed Snyman a close-range carrying opportunity – the lock is a a Goliath even among the South African colossi and would not be stopped PBA

Nche went to work once more, earning a scrum penalty on halfway PBA

Pollard hoisted and through it went – England had been kicked out PBA
