Rassie Erasmus is preparing the South African team for a challenging encounter against a "desperate" England side this Saturday. The Springboks' head coach anticipates a "very, very tough game" as England seeks to secure their first victory in the Autumn Nations Series after suffering two consecutive defeats. Erasmus noted that England will likely bring a sense of frustration to the match, having lost to New Zealand and Australia in their previous outings. The English team, under the guidance of coach Steve Borthwick, faced narrow losses at home, falling 24-22 to New Zealand and 42-37 to Australia, both of which they had hoped to win. In contrast, the Springboks recently reclaimed the world No. 1 ranking following a somewhat uneven 32-15 victory over Scotland, marking the start of their own series of Tests in the northern hemisphere. As they head to Twickenham, Erasmus is aware that England will be eager to turn their fortunes around.
