New Zealand's Ben O'Keeffe will referee Saturday's World Cup semi-final between England and holders South Africa, World Rugby said on Tuesday, despite drawing criticism for his performance in the Springboks' quarter-final against hosts France.

Australian Angus Gardner will referee the other semi-final between Argentina and New Zealand on Friday.

"It's hard to talk about things at the moment but there were a few clear things that should have been blown that weren't blown," Dupont said on Sunday. The French also slammed O'Keeffe after Cheslin Kolbe charged down Thomas Ramos's conversion following Peato Mauvaka's try when TV footage showed the South Africa winger crossed the try-line shortly before the kicker was in motion.
