"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

They will contest a fifth-place semifinal on Sunday.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrance into the semifinals was a tough task headed into the match against England and conditions made it even trickier.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa needed a four try bonus point, to deny England a bonus point and beat them by more than 25 points. </span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2266762\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TL_2236348a.jpg\" alt=\"baby boks england\" width=\"2168\" height=\"1374\" /> <em>Outside centre Jurenzo Julius of South Africa U20 is tackled during the World Rugby U20 Championship 2024 match against England at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town on 9 July 2024. (Photo: Ashley Vlotman / Gallo Images)</em></p>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was always going to be an uphill battle for the side that lost 31-12 to Argentina last Thursday.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa barely threatened the English tryline outside the first 10 minutes of the match when they scored the opening try.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The side played with more intensity and won more of the physical battle compared with the match against Argentina, but their set piece capitulated again. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa’s scrum buckled under the English pressure while hooker Luca Bakkes struggled to find his jumpers in the lineout.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Bakkes did find his locks, the Baby Boks maul worked well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, the match struggled for any real fluidity and was filled with errors from both teams as the conditions didn’t allow for continuity. </span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2266885\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TL_2236389.jpg\" alt=\"baby boks moos\" width=\"2452\" height=\"1639\" /> <em>Baby Bok Asad Moos of South Africa U20 during the World Rugby U20 Championship 2024 match between South Africa and England at Athlone Stadium on 9 July 2024. (Photo: Ashley Vlotman / Gallo Images)</em></p>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scores were deadlocked at 12-12 for an extended period of the second half before a rolling maul by England, six minutes after the final hooter had gone, secured a victory for the Six Nations U20 champions. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a deserved victory for England with South Africa relying on their last-ditch defence several times to keep them in the match.</span>\r\n<h4><b>Strong start</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both captains opened the scoring for their sides as they went into the break deadlocked on 7-7.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aided by a strong wind blowing behind them, the baby Boks had the ascendency early before captain Zachary Porthen rumbled under the posts to help give South Africa a 7-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Junior Boks’ malfunctioning set piece led to England’s first points in the match. Baby Boks hooker Bakkes overthrew a lineout 10 metres out before it was scooped up and dotted down by flanker and captain Finn Carnduff.</span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2266886\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TL_2236392-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"baby boks england sodeke\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1701\" /> <em>Olamide Sodeke of England U20 during the World Rugby U20 Championship 2024 match between South Africa and England at Athlone Stadium on 9 July 09, 2024. (Photo: Ashley Vlotman / Gallo Images)</em></p>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa would have considered themselves lucky to go into halftime with the scores tied despite playing with the breeze.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">England squandered opportunities in the South African half, failing to capitalise on their entries to the 22m and on one occasion kicked a long-arm penalty dead. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The match never really got into fifth gear as both teams struggled to hold on to the ball.</span>\r\n<h4><b>Late score</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second half started like the first ended, with England in control, camping on the Baby Boks’ 10-metre line. It took less time for England to cross the line this time though. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lineout and subsequent maul saw England lock Joe Bailey score the first points of the half.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The try seemed to spur on the Boks who upped the intensity immediately. A period of enterprising play, followed by a grubber through by outside centre Jurenzo Julius, allowed the space for winger Likhona Finca to create magic. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The winger arrived first at the rolling ball about 40 metres from the English tryline before tapping it ahead twice, out-running two opposition players in the process before diving on the ball over the tryline. </span>\r\n\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2266884\" src=\"https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/TL_2236387-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"baby boks england moos koen\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1678\" /> <em>Asad Moos (left) and Liam Koen of South Africa U20 during the World Rugby U20 Championship 2024 match between South Africa and England at Athlone Stadium on 9 July 2024. (Photo: Ashley Vlotman / Gallo Images)</em></p>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa seemed to run out of steam after the score by Finca, however. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">England forged forward with their destructive pack late in the clash with the scores still tied after the 80th minute. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">England, with a 12-player maul, fell over the tryline with the clock six minutes into the red. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacement hooker James Isaacs came up with the ball. The tough conversion was missed by flyhalf Benjamin Coen as England secured a five-point win and a ticket to the semifinals of the competition.</span>\r\n<h4><b>Other results</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier in the day, the match between Australia and Ireland was cancelled at Athlone Stadium due to the torrential weather. Nevertheless, the other two matches continued as France beat Wales 29-11 to secure their spot in the semifinals.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Danie Craven Stadium, New Zealand thumped Spain 45-13 while Argentina came away with a 52-12 win over Fiji. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Georgia shocked Italy 28-17. </span><b>DM</b>\r\n\r\n<iframe title=\"Electricity prices through the roof\" width=\"100%\" height=\"324\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" data-tally-src=\"https://tally.so/embed/nW0NXJ?hideTitle=1&dynamicHeight=1\"></iframe><script>var d=document,w=\"https://tally.so/widgets/embed.js\",v=function(){\"undefined\"!=typeof Tally?Tally.loadEmbeds():d.querySelectorAll(\"iframe[data-tally-src]:not([src])\").forEach((function(e){e.src=e.dataset.tallySrc}))};if(\"undefined\"!=typeof Tally)v();else if(d.querySelector('script[src=\"'+w+'\"]')==null){var s=d.createElement(\"script\");s.src=w,s.onload=v,s.onerror=v,d.body.appendChild(s);}</script>",
