says the team is not resting on their laurels and that they have two more hurdles to go, the first being their Rugby World Cup semifinal clash against England at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Saturday night.against hosts France over the past weekend and will need to lift themselves up for the semifinal challenge.Etzebeth claims that the players are fully motivated for the game and that they will be going all out to come out on top.

However, he is not focused on just one player in the game and although Itoje recently came out and said he is a better player than he was during this year’s Six Nations, that isn’t something that Etzebeth is worried about. “I haven’t watched many of their games. He is a good player. There’s an old saying that form is temporary, class is permanent. I wouldn’t want to comment too much on his form but if he thinks it’s better now, then it probably is.”England will also likely have revenge on their mind, after they were heavily beaten 32-12 in the 2019 World Cup final, while they were also comfortably beaten by the Boks 27-13 at home on the 2022 end-of-year-tour.
