Springbok hooker Bongi Mbonambi doesn't believe England can ever be called underdogs going into a rugby match.
The match in Paris is a repeat of the 2019 Rugby World Cup final in Japan, which the Boks won.There’s a lot of history between South Africa and England at the World Cup, and Saturday evening’s match is sure to add to that rich history.
However, the Springboks have the favourites tag going into the clash with England being the underdogs. Speaking to the media on Friday,“I take it to be very disrespectful to them, to mention them as underdogs. We don’t look at ourselves as favourites.”England are said to be driven by the prospect of getting revenge for the 32-12 loss in the 2019 World Cup final in Yokohama.
“We’ve heard a lot, and obviously people are talking about them looking for revenge … how they see the game is up to them.
