The spectacular entry of the “bomb squad” in the 46th minute (Malcolm Marx, Vincent Koch, Gerhard Steenekamp, Pieter-Steph Du Toit, Jasper Wiese, Siya Kolisi) did not have the effect expected by coach Rassie Erasmus, except in closed melee.

This seemed to be enough for the Springboks who had in mind the shock which awaited them at Twickenham against an England team in search of redemption after their defeats against New Zealand (22-24) and Australia (37-42). ), this fall.
