Springboks are world champions but ‘not unbeatable’, says winger
Gerry Thornley: The match was poor, the referee was poor, the crowd was poor and the All Blacks were adequate
Freeman has unhappy memories of facing the Springboks and was taken off at half-time during their last visit to Twickenham in 2022 – a match South Africa won 27-13 in what proved to be Eddie Jones’s last in charge. The 23-year-old Northampton winger did not appear again for England until this year’s Six Nations, having been overlooked by Borthwick for the World Cup squad.
If England are to overcome South Africa, they will have to tighten up defensively after missing a scarcely believable 36 tackles against Australia in what was only Joe El-Abd’s second match as defence coach since taking over from Felix Jones. “We’re not far off where we want to be,” said Freeman. “I’d say there’s a bit of tentativeness. You want to get off the line and there’s potentially that hesitation.
