Replay: England Vs. South Africa

Just a week removed from a disastrous loss to Australia, England will be face-to-face with one of the most feared opponents in all of sports, the South Africa Springboks

The Boks will be bringing their A-team to Allianz Stadium in Twickenham, featuring heavy-hitters like Ox Nche, Eben Etzebeth, RG Snyman, Cheslin Kolbe and, well, basically their entire starting lineup.

On the English side, Marcus Smith will start again at the No. 10 spot, and Chandler Cunningham-South, who has been in incredible form lately, also will return this week.
