_{Team Previews}

_Wales

_{Wales have put in an underwhelming presentation however took advantage of France going down to 14 men in the second half as they snatched the win late in the game and progressed to their third RWC semi-final.  Jonathan Davies might return at the centre for the semi-final clash after he had missed out against France due to a knee issue. The Welsh are dealt with a big blow with confirmation that the back-rower, Josh Navidi is out of the RWC tournament due to hamstring issues which ended his game hastily against the French.}

_{South Africa}

_{South Africa has managed to resist wave after a wave of Japanese attacks to keep the hosts at bay. the team has successfully managed to make it to the semi-finals. Tendai Mtawarira was fortunate to escape with a yellow card for a tip tackle that was against Japan and the Springboks prop looks are set to avoid a ban which will be a huge relief for his side.}

_Predictions

_{Wales did enough to beat the French side in the quarters, while the springboks looked like they have developed a winning streak, if not a slightly boring, game plan against Japan}
