- 18:57 England qualifies for the semi-finals for the third time. The third quarter-final was a struggle between England’s attacking power and pressing and a tactical, disciplined and defensive flying Fiji side. England seemed to have put all their sheep on dry ground at the halfway stage with an 11-point lead: 21-10. But from the previous quarter-finals we knew that such a large lead in the first half is only relative. Fiji made that clear again today. 10 minutes before the end, the score suddenly became 24-24 thanks to the Fiji substitutes. They conjured up great rugby. England responded in the final minutes and allowed Kate Middleton (Princess of Wales) to return to the stands with a 30-24 victory. It was not Fiji’s first World Cup semi-final, but England’s sixth. The opponent will be the winner of the match between the host country, France, and the defending champion, South Africa. .
