“When you think of how many people would give anything to be where we are and the majority of the people in our country are unemployed, some don’t have homes keno
“For me, giving up and not giving everything would be cheating not just myself and the team but the rest of the people at home keno
“The harder we play, the more we do well, the more we are able to open opportunities for others so that also drives us keno

“People at work on Fridays wear their green jerseys and the beautiful thing to see is the people who can’t afford the jerseys, they wear anything that’s green, anything that represents the Springboks keno

In the minutes after a thrilling, thumping quarter-final in Marseille, the Stade Velodrome DJ reached into his record collection and plucked out some early Eighties Elton John keno
It felt like an appropriate soundtrack keno
On a weekend where Wales, Ireland and France faded away, England – somehow, some way – are still standing keno
Talk of a hemispheric shift proved premature, with a southern sweep elsewhere leaving Steve Borthwick’s side the only unbeaten outfit left in this odd World Cup keno
A team that once never could have hoped to win now find themselves in the final four; the Six Nations’ hopes at this tournament rest, almost unfathomably, with England keno
Not that one would expect too many Welsh, Irish or French supporters to seek comfort in an embrace of white cotton keno
For France and Ireland, particularly, it will rankle to have used the last four years so brilliantly to build a contender and find that it is England’s rushed construction that has endured keno
There is still every chance that Borthwick’s new-build comes crashing down once subjected to a Springboks storm, but so far England have proved, just about, up to code keno
RecommendedFrance suffer painful symmetry with Ireland as Springboks continue southern dominanceOwen Farrell silences critics as England survive Fiji fightbackWounded warrior Dan Biggar bows out to usher in next Welsh generationAfter the best rugby weekend in recent memory, the prospect of a couple of damp squib semi-finals, sadly, looms keno
But World Cups can be strange beasts, and England are already summoning the spirit of 2019, when they rose to meet and beat the All Blacks with a high-water mark performance that England still have not come close to reaching again keno
A common theme among the recollections of the semi-final week four years ago was the clarity and certainty with which England approached the game, knowing on Monday or Tuesday that a final place would be theirs keno
The job for Borthwick, an assistant then, is to imbue that same sense of conviction in a similar group now carrying significantly more mental scarring keno
Of course, it was South Africa themselves who inflicted the deepest of psychological cuts, England’s inability to put anything on the field in the Yokohama final still a sore subject among the squad keno
“Some players will use [the 2019 final] as motivation, some players will take that as a brilliant learning into this week, and hopefully that’s what they will bring,” attack coach Richard Wigglesworth said on Monday keno
“But I wouldn’t like to pre-empt what [effect] feelings from four years ago have on this game keno
On Saturday night, we need to be very clear that this is a semi-final in 2023, and nothing to do with 2019 keno
England were beaten by South Africa in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final (Getty )“I think what we need to be careful of is pushing the emotional button too many times this week keno
We need the emotion right on Saturday night, not before keno
We need to make sure we control the emotional energy keno
“We will go through the parts of our gameplan, we will layer those on and make sure we check and refine those parts of the plan keno
We will make sure that we are fresh going into Saturday night both physically and mentally keno
”Borthwick is likely to stick with a broadly similar team, though may consider another tweak in the back three keno
It wasn’t that Marcus Smith, bloodied mouth and all, had a bad game against Fiji – his head coach was particularly keen to talk up his bravery in defence afterwards – but South Africa are likely to test whoever occupies the England 15 shirt rather more in the air keno
Freddie Steward’s prowess under the high ball could be a rather useful attacking option against a blitz defence that can leave opportunities for an intelligent kicking game keno
If Steward is returned to the starting side, it could leave George Ford and Smith vying for a single bench spot, with Ollie Lawrence continuing to be impactful as the bench centre keno
While captain Owen Farrell took the plaudits, the performances of Ben Earl, answering his own call for England’s big-game players to step up, and Ollie Chessum, a physical tone-setter, alongside more familiar faces augur well in a side in need of new stars keno

“We are probably talking about one of the best rugby teams to ever do it, aren’t we?” Wigglesworth said, illustrating the challenge England are facing keno
“To be able to beat France, the form they are in, in their own back yard, that was a special performance from an incredible team keno
”A couple of England players themselves admitted afterwards that they cannot afford the shaky 10 minutes that so nearly allowed Fiji a famous World Cup day keno
While they were able to claw their way to victory on Sunday, South Africa are a side capable of putting England in a hole from which there will be no climbing out – as they showed in the final four years ago keno
“We still don’t feel like we’ve put 80 minutes together of real, smart international test rugby,” Earl stressed keno
“It’s not glamorous stuff, it’s just the odd moment keno
I think some individual errors let a team like Fiji in, and they are a hard team to stop when they are rumbling keno
We are keno better for that, and we are in a semi-final among the best four teams in the world keno
We’ll have a crack keno
