South Africa end Japan's World Cup dream, set up semifinal against Wales

The Springboks proved far too strong for the host nation, who became the first Asian nation to play in the Rugby World Cup knockout phase.

81'		3-26 End of second half
80'		That's all from us! We'll be back for the semifinals -- England vs. New Zealand, and Wales vs. South Africa. Until then!
80'		South Africa will almost certainly be favourites against Wales next week. The Springboks were wasteful in the first half today, but ruthless in the final 40 minutes. Wales, meanwhile, would likely have exited the tournament today if it weren't for Vahaamahina's deserved red card, which cost France a place in the final four.
