England is determined to shake off their recent autumn disappointments by taking on South Africa this Saturday, with players insisting they will not adopt a defensive approach. Following consecutive losses to New Zealand and Australia, Steve Borthwick's team has fallen to seventh in the world rankings. However, the squad is confident they can defy expectations and turn their fortunes around. Instead of abandoning their high-risk defensive strategy, which has seen them concede eight tries in two matches this month, England plans to intensify their aggressive play both with and without the ball. This match marks their first encounter with the Springboks since last year's heartbreaking World Cup semi-final defeat, and the players are eager to make a statement.
