RWC FORM AHEAD OF SEMI-FINAL CLASH
The Boks will square off with England on 21 October 2023. After their win against France, South Africa has been tipped as the favourites.
The Springboks have been bullish in their campaign with 12 wins from 13 games, only losing to Ireland last month in pool stages.
On the other hand, England is yet to lose in their 2023 Rugby World Cup campaign, making their showdown with the Springboks one of the biggest games to be played.
