Springbok’s head coach Jacques Nienaber said an unchanged Springbok lineup is in the ‘best form’ to beat England on Saturday and secure their spot in the world cup final.
“We have a squad of 33 players, all of whom are very closely matched in terms of their skill and quality of play, which made it tempting to make changes this week and it was tough to select this group both last week and this week. But we feel it’s now time to go with the players in the squad who we believe are in their best form.”
“Competition for places in the team is very tight and the coaches had a few in-depth discussions before finalising the team. “We are playing for our friends, family, and the 60 million people at home who have been supporting us through thick and thin, and we are determined to continue giving them hope and something to smile about.”
