England vs South Africa Betting Tips Rugby World Cup 2023 Semifinal

England came into the 2023 RWC off the back of a fourth-place finish in the recent Six Nations, where it secured 10 points. It was one of their weakest performances in the championship, ending 17 points behind the leader, Ireland. Notably, England dismissed their Head Coach, Eddie Jones, last December, replacing him with Steve Borthwick to improve their global standings.

On the other hand, the South Africans secured second place in the previous Rugby Championship with 18 points, just one point behind the champions, New Zealand. Jacques Nienaber’s team consistently performs well, although they have yet to be able to secure a win against their key rival, Ireland, in this World Cup.

The team has evolved from the competitive squad that captivated audiences in 2003. Today’s team needs to leverage their in-game strategies and not just rely on their historic reputation.

South Africa, for its part, has maintained a consistent style of play, often reverting to tactical kicks from their fly-half or scrum-half. They continuously focus on control through line-outs and mauls, and making intelligent decisions to protect their goal line. A true battle of contrasting styles and strategies is anticipated.
