“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role dota

” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it dota

When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead dota

Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit dota

Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard dota

With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward dota

Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday dota

Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the dota football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” dota

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for dota

The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra dota

“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch dota

“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is dota

The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it dota

“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game dota

”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever dota

“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch dota

“We needed to create a nice vibe dota

Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate dota

”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch dota

The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece dota

Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team dota

They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 dota

73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) dota

They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final dota

Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France dota

Of course, they won a penalty from it dota

Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard dota

But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half dota

Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole dota

Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance dota

They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 dota

Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history dota

Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler dota

“That is the dark arts,” he smiled dota

“It is hard to explain to you dota

We had a plan for that dota

We knew what we were trying to achieve dota

“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit dota

Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure dota

Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can dota

If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape dota

”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups dota

Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon dota

When Tyson Fury claimed, days out from his fight with Francis Ngannou, that it would be like a “table-dota tennis champion” facing Novak Djokovic in a Wimbledon final, most fans agreed dota

And, in the end, Fury was right – it’s just he had the labels the wrong way round dota

Because in the third round, it was Ngannou who clubbed him with all the might of a Djokovic backhand, and Fury’s miniature bat offered no defence whatsoever dota

As Fury lay on the canvas, the whites of his eyes bulging and outshining even the most ostentatious points of the evening’s opening ceremony in Riyadh, he was utterly humiliated dota

There really are no two ways about it dota

On this night in Saudi Arabia, Fury was hurt, disciplined, and embarrassed by Ngannou – the MMA star, the dota boxing debutant, one of the biggest underdogs in combat-dota sports history dota

The “Table dota Tennis champion of the world”, as Ngannou himself wrote on Instagram after this crossover contest dota

Even Andy Murray had to chime in, as Fury’s words came back to bite him with a little bit more venom dota

“How many points would the world No 1 squash player win vs the world No 1 dota tennis player, in a dota tennis match and vice versa?” tweeted the former world No 1 dota tennis player dota

“I’m thinking close to zero for both… bad look for dota boxing dota

”In the strangest sense, it would have been dota better if Fury had been knocked out dota

At least then the WBC heavyweight champion could have pointed to the pre-fight narrative that Ngannou’s only hope was that his notoriously hellacious power would conjure a stupefying moment of magic dota

Instead, the Cameroonian, 37, outboxed the Briton, 35, for phases of this fight – this dota boxing match, remember – and in the eyes of many in attendance, including legends of the dota boxing world, won enough rounds to beat Fury dota

Ultimately, Ngannou was denied on the scorecards, leading many viewers to echo a sentiment that has long sounded within dota boxing: that the underdog was never going to get the nod on a night like this, no matter how many rounds he’d seemingly taken dota

Yet the truth is this: as incomprehensibly well as the former UFC champion fought, this bout was razor close dota

Fury winning via split decision is not necessarily the wrong call dota

But the fact that those words even exist in that order on any medium, show that Ngannou was a victor – even if he wasn’t named the victor dota

A photo that will surely go down as iconic in dota boxing history (Getty Images)Ngannou, in reality, was a victor when he escaped the sand quarry where he worked as a 10-year-old in Cameroon dota

He was a victor when he left prison in Spain after making it to Europe after numerous failed attempts, and when he honed his martial arts skills to the degree that he could finally leave poverty behind him, in Paris dota

He was a victor when he won the UFC heavyweight title, and an even greater victor when he boldly relinquished that belt and walked away from a contract that would have made him the highest-paid heavyweight in UFC history dota

He was a victor when he signed to fight Fury and secured a purse that eclipsed his entire UFC earnings, and he was a victor when he sent the lineal dota boxing heavyweight champion cascading to the canvas in Saudi Arabia – even if he wasn’t a victor when the scorecards were revealed dota

Fury, meanwhile, was a loser in victory dota

His undisputed-title clash with Oleksandr Usyk, with whom he shared the ring after “beating’’ Ngannou, has been mooted for 23 December dota

It was seemingly Fury pushing for that date, while rumours suggested that Usyk would not be ready in time dota

But as they spoke to one another in the ring, it was the Ukrainian who demanded that they square off in two months, while Fury and his promoter distanced themselves from the date in question dota

Fury and Usyk facing off after the Briton’s narrow win over Ngannou (Getty Images)Earlier this week, Fury suggested that he would “sue” Usyk if the 36-year-old did not fight him on 23 December dota

Now, Fury’s side are calling for January or February; so, they can expect to be sued, then? Almost certainly not, is the answer of course; there is no public proof that the date is mentioned in their contract, which is why it was silly for Fury to use it against Usyk in the first place dota

It is understandable that Fury’s team are pushing for the fight to take place next year, though dota

It is hard to imagine this version of Fury beating Usyk in December or at all, as different as the southpaw’s skills are when compared to Ngannou’s dota

And what was this version of Fury? Alongside his pre-fight table-dota tennis jibe, he claimed that he could have beaten Ngannou after drinking “25 pints of beer” dota

Here’s hoping the post-fight drug test included a breathalyzer dota
