The Nations Championship is a new international competition featuring 12 teams from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. South Africa come into the tournament as the world's top-ranked side, with Rassie Erasmus naming a full-strength squad that includes Cheslin Kolbe, Eben Etzebeth, Malcolm Marx, and Jesse Kriel. Ellis Park's altitude is also expected to test England's endurance.
England, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing Six Nations campaign and end a run of three straight defeats to the Springboks, including their agonising one-point loss in the 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-final. Steve Borthwick's side face a daunting opening assignment but will be eager to make an early statement in the tournament.Want to catch South Africa vs England free?
