Springboks lock Eben Etzebeth says they are so relieved with their 29-28 win over France as they will enjoy it tonight, then focus on England and a huge game coming up in the Rugby World Cup semi final.
Etzebeth says that was an incredible test, a one-point game that could have gone either way.
The northern hemisphere will feel sick to their stomach after Sir Clive Woodward and Warren Gatland declared that the first weekend of knockout rugby could be a southern shut out.
Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber says its going to be massive of the prospect of facing England.
Nienaber says in knockouts anything can happen as he was following the England and Fiji game on the bus there.
He says England had a healthy lead and then Fiji came back and then they also pushed it right to the end.
Nienaber says he thinks knockouts are going to be small margins right to the end.
France Captain Antoine Dupont says the refereeing does not take anything away from South Africa’s performance, and they played a great game.
Dupont says there's a lot of disappointment and frustration and they want to see the images again – which will give them even more disappointment and even more frustration – but he thinks some clear and obvious things weren’t whistled.
He says at crucial moments they could have had a penalty, when they’ve gone forward 60 metres and are slowed down in the rucks, it's pretty easy to whistle.
The skipper says he doesn’t want to sound bitter, moaning about the refereeing because they lost the match, but he’s not sure the refereeing was up to the challenge.
Argentina will face New Zealand in the first Rugby World Cup semi final at 7am Saturday while England will play South Africa at 7am Sunday.
