“A win isn't just important for the tour but for momentum going forward,” acknowledged captain Siya Kolisi. The Boks will have no cause to arrive back home chests out, let alone go into World Cup year cock-a-hoop. The Boks however, have in recent weeks shown not just the pluck but the proficiency to raise their game in attack. The Boks revelled with the leash off in the second half against Italy but that was only after their pack had crushed the opposition. They won't have that luxury against England, though they may fancy getting traction against the Red Rose army in the scrums.
