Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus is expecting a kicking bombardment when the Boks take on England at Twickenham on Saturday night.
All of England’s four straight losses have been by seven points or less, so the Boks could be in for a big challenge against the hosts on Saturday.
The hosts will be desperate to get a win over the Boks as they are currently on a poor run of results that has seen them lose their last four games. “I think they have been successful like that in the past, so we are expecting them to try and squeeze us with their kicking game.“I have said it openly. They tend to go to a kicking game, and their backs are expected to chase more than 80% of those kicks, which puts a lot of pressure on us, and if our backs don’t have the ability to match that, there is trouble.
