TOKYO (Reuters) - With South Africa feeling they are close to perfecting their attritional game-plan and Wales having long ago decided that defence can be the best form of attack, Sunday's second World Cup semi-final will probably not bring many surprises.

While Springbok physicality and pragmatism brought an end to Japan's effervescent run through the tournament last weekend, Wales made a meal of struggling past a France side reduced to 14 men for half an hour.
