Former England international Anthony Watson believes England can upset the Springboks at Ellis Park on Saturday, insisting South Africa have already shown they are beatable at altitude.
That is according to former England international Anthony Watson.
The Springboks will start as clear favourites not only for Saturday’s showdown against England in Johannesburg, but also to lift the inaugural Nations Championship title.
Boks coach Rassie Erasmus has already named a vastly experienced side for the first meeting between the two teams at Ellis Park in eight years.
