Amid all the praise of De Beer as a wonder flyhalf and the criticism of England for their failure at the tournament, the bare fact has not been lost on the British press that De Beer would not have played against England had Honiball been fit.
De Beer kicked 34 points in South Africa's 44-21 win in the quarter-final on Sunday, slotting two conversions, five penalties and a record five drop goals.
De Beer played his second match of the World Cup against Spain as part of Mallett's second-string side and a week later was to be given a rest against Uruguay as Honiball was declared fit and would make his World Cup debut.

 Gloucester Rugby Club : Jannie De Beer Retires
Jannie, whose international credentials were of course impeccable - with his goal kicking amongst some of the most prolific in the world - set about trying to steer Saracens to great things after the team had seen a downturn towards the end of the previous season.
Jannie was trying too hard - his style of play meant that he was always risking injury as he liked to tackle hard and get involved.
Jannie chose to play on and after a few weeks of treatment he returned against London Irish at Reading and again was involved in an inspired try after he foxed the entire opposing team as they all quietly lined up under the posts for a penalty kick.

"In all our dealings with De Beer we showed good faith and, despite the difficult summer we had when our very future was in doubt, we honoured our obligations to all players, including De Beer," said Sale chief executive Graham Walker.

 RTE News - Sport: Australia 27 South Africa 21
It was the Australians who made it after seeing what seemed a certain victory within normal time dramatically taken away by a Jannie de Beer penalty seven minutes into injury time that will go down as one of the kicks of the game.
Both defences dominated the game and there was an abundance of tactical kicking from de Beer and the Australian pair of out-half Steve Larkham and full-back Matt Burke.
Although de Beer edged South Africa in front with his sixth penalty early in overtime, Australia finished far the stronger as two more Burke penalties and a sensational 50-metre Steve Larkham "de Beer special" drop goal saw them home.

Jannie De Beer famously potted an unprecedented five field goals in South Africa's quarter-final defeat of England at the 1999 World Cup.
Ironically, it was an unlikely long-range drop goal in injury time from Wallabies five-eighth Stephen Larkham that sunk the Springboks just days later in the semi-final, after De Beer had added one more to his tally.
"De Beer was always a great field goal kicker but you didn't see any great plan leading into that, that that was their plan," Connolly said.

There were also a few attempts at what became a feature of the tournament - the use of drop kicks to take the aerial route past strong defences.
Jannie de Beer of South Africa showed it to be almost an art form but it is still no substitute for slinky running, break throughs and sprints for the try line.
Luckily, there were a couple of occasions when the brilliance of Australia's veteran centre, Tim Boran, almost saw him tear a hole in the French defences.

 BBC - h2g2 - Jannie de Beer
Overlooked for much of his playing career, Jannie de Beer was on his 12th cap when he produced one of the most astounding feats in a Test Rugby match, scoring five drop goals against England in the 1999 RWC quarter-final in Paris on 24/10/99.
The previous record was held jointly by six men, each of whom had scored three drop goals in Tests.

 Rugby World Cup 1999 quarter-finals
Apart from a few bright spots of play, it was a leaden affair with strength of defence rather than spirit of attack uppermost in the tactical performances of both sides.
It speaks volumes about the game to learn that the accolade went to the five dropped goals by the South African fly-half, Jannie de Beer, rather than to any match-winning try.
This is not to gainsay De Beer's excellence - he scored 32 points from his boot - but it must be said that most of any movement towards the try lines came, not from sprints down the touchline, but from a series of ping-pong exchanges of long punts.

 England kicks on - www.theage.com.au
Wilkinson even cheekily landed two late drop goals to stretch the final margin, erasing memories of England's 1999 World Cup demise at the hands of former Springbok flyhalf Jannie de Beer in the process.
De Beer's presence as a goalkicker could have changed the outcome last night as Koen, admittedly with a number of long-range attempts, landed only two of six attempts in the first half compared to Wilkinson's two from two.
Heading to the break locked at 6-6 South Africa could rightly feel it should have been at least another six points clear, but it was England who took hold of the match in the second half after being fortunate to remain square on the scoreboard.
