Final
- Ellis Park, Johannesburg: South Africa 15 - New Zealand 12
- The score at the fulltime whistle was 12-12; a heroic defensive effort by the Springboks kept Jonah Lomu from scoring. (He would not score a single try against the Boks in his career.) The game, and ultimately the World Cup, was decided by an extra-time drop-goal by South African Joel Stransky.
Third Place
Semifinals
- Kings Park, Durban: South Africa 19 - France 15
- Newlands, Cape Town: New Zealand 45 - England 29
- While this World Cup saw the emergence of Jonah Lomu as a rugby superstar, this game made him a nearly mythic figure, as he shredded the England defence for four tries.
