Whatever else South Africa are expecting from England, it's not a surprise. The Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus says they picked the team three weeks ago, during a training camp in Jersey. Nothing he's seen in the way England played against New Zealand and Australia seems to have changed his mind. If anything, the two defeats only confirmed what he already suspected.

"You know, when you lose two games, even if it's by a point or last-minute try, the pressure does start to build," Erasmus said, "I've been there. I certainly know how quickly it can get to you. And when that happens you normally fall back on to what works for you."
