England vs South Africa betting preview
England have dominated the All Blacks, a team who defeated South Africa earlier this tournament
England enter this clash on the back of an outstanding semi-final win against New Zealand. They beat the All Blacks 19-7 in the semi-final with one of the most sensational performances in Rugby World Cup history. Eddie Jones' men were 10-0 up at half time and despite gifting the All Blacks their only points of the game just before the hour mark (which made it 13-7). In the pool stage, England beat Tonga (35-3), USA (45-7) and Argentina (39-10) while their game against France was cancelled. Then, they booked their semi final place with a 40-16 victory over Australia in the quarter finals. The Roses look rock solid in defense as they have shipped just four tries and 43 points in five matches thus far.England have selected the same team for the Yokohama final The only omission will be Willi Heinz, who suffered a hamstring injury after coming on as a 63rd-minute replacement against the Kiwis last weekend. In his place arrives Saracens scrum-half Ben Spencer. Captain Owen Farrell, Jonny May and Kyle Sinckler all passed fit to play. Anthony Watson was able to finish the semi-final demolition of New Zealand but he received regular treatment during the game for an unspecified knock.
