FURIOUS Owen Farrell clashed with Willie Le Roux after England's Rugby World Cup dream was agonisingly crushed.<\/p>\n
The Red Rose captain kicked all 15 points – including a marvellous drop goal – to fire his side to a 15-6 lead.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
But the reigning world champions fought back through a RG Snyman try 11 minutes from time before sub fly-half Handre Pollard nailed a 49m penalty with two minutes to go to secure a dramatic 16-15 semi-final victory for the Springboks.<\/p>\n
And when referee Ben O'Keeffe blew the full-time whistle to end the highly-charged contest, tempers flared between the two sets of players on the pitch. <\/p>\n
Farrell was right at the thick of the handbags, too, as he got into a shoving match with South Africa's replacement full-back Le Roux.<\/p>\n
The pair angrily squared up to each other amid the tension as plenty of men in white and green tussled in a mass brawl.<\/p>\n
