Rassie Erasmus on Tuesday night attempted to predict the team that England will deploy in the World Cup semi-final against the Springboks.
Saturday night’s semi-final in the French capital will be a rerun of the 2019 World Cup final in Japan, which the Springboks dominated to win 32-12.
“Now, we’re guessing, obviously. We took the basic guys – Genge, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Chessum, Lawes, Curry, Earl, Mitchell, Farrell, Daly, Tuilagi, Marchant, May, Marcus Smith or Steward. That’s who we think, but we might be totally wrong. “They bring energy on the field in all departments. They’ve got Sinckler there, Jamie and so many experienced players who played against us last time.“I think because they played us end of year last year, and they played us at the Rugby World Cup and Rugby World Cup final, and I think they’ll have some beef with us,” Erasmus added.
