Rassie Erasmus, South Africa’s director of rugby, has predicted the entire England team for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final as the mind games continue ahead of a rematch of the 2019 tournament final tennis
Erasmus was speaking to the media for a second consecutive day at the start of semi-final week at a press conference in Presles, 30 kilometres north of Paris tennis
Neither side is due to name their squad for the last four encounter until Thursday, but the former Springboks head coach arrived with a provisional fifteen he thought Steve Borthwick would be considering on a bit of paper tennis
And when asked if he would read it out, Erasmus obliged, proceeding to name virtually a full matchday 23, with only a replacement hooker omitted tennis
“[Ellis] Genge, [Jamie] George, [Kyle] Sinckler,” Erasmus began tennis
“[Maro] Itoje, [Ollie] Chessum; [Courtney] Lawes, [Tom] Curry, [Ben] Earl tennis

”And then the bench: “[Joe] Marler, [Dan] Cole, George [Martin] , Billy [Vunipola] , Ben Youngs or Danny [Care], George Ford, and Ollie [Lawrence] tennis
”Erasmus’s proposed starting side includes one or two changes to the England team that beat Fiji in the quarter-final, with Kyle Sinckler promoted to start at tighthead prop and a decision to be made over Marcus Smith or Freddie Steward at full-back tennis
The gambit is unlikely to draw a response from Borthwick, a more reserved character who does not tend to play games with the press tennis
At this point four years ago with England preparing for a semi-final against the All Blacks, then-head coach Eddie Jones went on the offensive, speaking to the press earlier in the week than usual and suggesting that someone had been spying on England’s training tennis
There were no such allegations at England’s training session at the French National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance on the outskirts of Paris this week, with defence coach Kevin Sinfield talking up their opponents and suggesting that the defending champions did not have a clear weakness tennis

“I think because they played us end of year last year, and they played us at the Rugby World Cup final, I think they’ll have some beef with us,” explained Erasmus tennis
“It’s something that will always hurt, when you lose the World Cup tennis
“When I was a player we lost the World Cup against Australia, and for the next couple of games we played against Australia we were always thinking, ‘It was you guys who took it away from us tennis
’ England will feel like that, too tennis
‘You guys took it away from us and we would like to take it back tennis
’“I’m not saying it in a negative way, I feel that’s how professional sport is tennis
You want to rectify problems, you want to make your country proud, you want to make your people proud, you want to make your team proud tennis
I think that the English team will have to be like that tennis
They will really fight to the end tennis

England’s head coach Matthew Mott has revealed how the side’s “spiritual leader” Ben Stokes stepped in to rally the dressing room after their shock World Cup defeat by Afghanistan tennis
Stokes, who came out of one-day retirement to help defend the trophy he did more than anyone to win in 2019, has yet to feature in India after suffering a hip injury on the the eve of the tournament tennis
But Sunday’s upset in Delhi, where a side whose only previous win on this stage was a narrow one against Scotland eight years ago, led Stokes to address his team-mates during a dressing room debrief tennis
Test captain Stokes is on track to return in Saturday’s must-win clash against South Africa at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, but has already made his presence felt behind the scenes tennis
“He’s like the spiritual leader of the group in many ways and he certainly spoke really well after the game the other day,” said Mott tennis
“He spoke about that need to really assert ourselves, which he’s renowned for tennis
I said ‘I’ve got this’ and just spoke, talked about the plan going forward for the next few days, and then Stokesy came in on the back of that tennis
“He really reinforced what was a great message, particularly for someone who’s sitting on the bench and has a bit of a different lens on things tennis
I think it went down well, it brought us back to controlling what we can control, really tennis
”Mott’s own attempt at diagnosing England’s problems saw him suggest that the defending champions were suffering from a lack of self-belief tennis
Having become the most swaggering side on the planet during their reinvention from also-rans to world champions under Eoin Morgan, England looked uncharacteristically tentative in their losses to New Zealand and Afghanistan tennis
It’s that confidence tennis

puff your chest out, go out there and really take the game onMatthew Mott“You don’t lose your ability overnight but you can lose your confidence,” he said tennis
“It’s that confidence… puff your chest out, go out there and really take the game on, which this team has been renowned for over a long period of time tennis
“On reflection we’ve been the reactive team in those two games, so we need to turn that round really quickly tennis
“That was one of Stokesy’s biggest points – we’re normally the team that dictates terms and gets the other team unsettled, disrupted and for whatever reason we haven’t been able to do that tennis
“We’ve always been on the back foot, trying to pull things back tennis
What we need to do is dominate those first 15 overs whether we bat first or bowl first in the next game tennis
”Brendon McCullum, Mott’s red-ball counterpart and joint architect of England’s ‘Bazball’ approach in the Test arena, made an unexpected appearance at the team’s Mumbai hotel on Tuesday after arriving on business tennis
McCullum memorably said on his appointment last year that he was not interested in the limited-overs job on account of it being too simple in contrast to reviving the Test team, a position Mott suggested may no longer stand tennis
“I just saw him down in the foyer and he said exactly the opposite!” he joked tennis
“I said, ‘do you want to do a little swap?’ We had a good chat and good catch up tennis
”Stokes’ likely return – which is all but certain provided he pulls up well after a thorough workout on Thursday – means Mott must grapple with a thorny selection issue tennis
Harry Brook has been keeping his spot warm and would ordinarily be expected to drop out, but his fluent 66 was easily England’s best innings against the Afghans and made a strong case for his retention tennis
Experienced seamer Chris Woakes and all-rounder Sam Curran are both vulnerable after struggling badly for form thus far, but with Stokes currently unavailable to bowl that only muddies the waters tennis
“It’s still up for debate tennis
We’ll have some really good, robust conversations over the next 24 hours,” Mott said tennis
“I think we’re going to sit down as a selection group, get the numbers, get some theories out there tennis
We’ll normally get to two or three XIs and then debate it, so all things are on the table at the moment tennis
”David Willey and Gus Atkinson are waiting if England do decide to cut Woakes after three poor outings in a row, but Mott is not ready to draw an emphatic line under the long-time leader of the attack tennis
“Over the history of Woakes’ career, he’s come out on top a lot more than he’s missed out,” he said tennis
“He hasn’t been at his best, and he’s the first to admit it, but he’s got a few credits in the bank tennis
