South Africa
won the Rugby World Cup by beating
England
the defending Champions 15-6, on Saturday 20 October 2007 at the Stade de France outside
Paris
. Percy Montgomery converted all four of his penalty kicks and Francois Steyn kicked another penalty to account for all the 16 points that took South Africa to victory.
Was the world cup stolen from
England
the moment the try by Mark Cueto was disallowed? If your an England Fan the answer is a resounding yes, the decision was carefully deliberated before a match official decided to disallow the try, but no matter your option on the subject, its too late now, the defending champions
England
, have been defeated in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, by
South Africa
15 - 6.
It was a pivotal moment in the match for
England
, that in some ways they never recovered from. As South Africans and their supporters around the world celebrate,
England
and their supports are left disheartened and disappointed. All
England
can do now is to regroup, assess their performance and strive to do better.
