TAUNT, PAUSE, ENGAGE: Ed in the game: Jones goads Boks as world champions look to end 2021 on a high

In a year of some landmark victories, toppling England at Twickenham on Saturday would rank alongside anything the Boks have achieved in 2021.

It’s not simple though. England are a very good team with an excellent coach in Eddie Jones. They have the tools to beat any opposition on their day and especially in front of 82,000 fans at home. “They said after the World Cup final, where they beat us fair and square, that they knew how to play us, they knew where our weaknesses were, and they were implying that our forward pack was weak,” Jones said this week. “Our forward pack’s not weak, and we’ll have an opportunity on Saturday to show that.

“I wouldn’t be able to know what Eddie is telling his players,” Bok coach Jacques Nienaber said. “From our perspective, the World Cup is so long ago now. We can’t stay in that moment, we need to move on. Their challenge is to make more of the opportunities they create. If there has been a weakness in the Springbok game, it has been a lack of cutting edge at crucial times.

At least we managed to find a South African to coach us.

Eddie Jones and his small man complex. Do we care?
