The Springboks lead England 4-1 in number of wins in matches between the teams at the Rugby World Cup tournament.
Jannie de Beer, Percy Montgomery and Handre Pollard have dished out plenty of punishment over the years.
A potentially bad omen for the English is that three of those victories have come at Saturday’s venue, the Stade de France. In just over half an hour of the second half he dropped an astonishing five drop goals to leave the English rocking and at the wrong end of a 44-21 defeat with De Beer’s total points haul, in a side including the Boks’ present director of rugby Rassie Erasmus, 34.
Jonny Wilkinson went through his whole bag of kicking tricks, converting Will Greenwood’s try, slotting over four penalties and dropping two goals for good measure.
