WATCH: Recent Test highlights of Springboks v England

The Springboks are gearing up for an anticipated onslaught from England in their final Outgoing Tour match at Twickenham on Saturday, which will go a long way to determining whether this tour could be deemed somewhat of a success for the South Africans.

In the last five matches between the two teams, the Springboks have only managed two wins, but of course the result that matters most in this recent history was the emphatic victory in the 2019 World Cup final.

A closer look at the history books also shows that the Springboks have lost their last three games at Twickenham, which included a heartbreaking defeat late last year.

Narrow scorelines have generally been the order of the day, but the last time South Africa actually claimed victory in London was back in November 2014, when the visitors prevailed 31-28.
