Date: 

Venue: Twickenham Stadium, London

Kick-off: 5:30pm

Referee: Angus Gardner (Australia)

TV Coverage: Live on Amazon Prime (UK and ROI)

South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber has accused the rugby world of lacking respect for his team in the wake of director of rugby Rassie Erasmus’ ban for social media posts about referees.

“If all the facts are out there, I think people would form a different opinion,” said Nienaber of Erasmus’ two-week suspension by World Rugby.

“It is quite sad if you think about it.”

Erasmus’ suspension includes Saturday’s match against England.

Nienaber, who stepped into the head coach role in 2019, said he believed that the misconceptions around his world champion team extended to their playing style.

The Springboks have made six changes to the side that beat Italy 61-23 last weekend, with a host of players, such as wing Cheslin Kolbe and number eight Jasper Wiese, obliged to return to their clubs as the match takes place outside the Test window.

Second row Eben Etzebeth comes back into the starting line-up with promising number eight Evan Roos winning his third cap. Head coach Eddie Jones will announce his squad for the match on Thursday.

South Africa: Le Roux; Arendse, Kriel, De Allende, Mapimpi; Willemse, De Klerk; Nche, Mbonambi, Malherbe, Etzebeth, Orie, Kolisi (c), Mostert, Roos.

Replacements: Marx, Kitshoff, Du Toit, Van Staden, Smith, Hendrikse, Libbok, Moodie
