Maro Itoje insists South Africa are not infallible as he urges England to seize the chance to clinch a place in the World Cup final worldcup
The rivals collide at the Stade de France on Saturday with the Springboks red hot favourites to retain the crown they won against England in Yokohama four years ago worldcup
But Steve Borthwick’s men are the only unbeaten side left in the tournament and Itoje is convinced they have yet to play their best rugby since landing on these shores seven weeks ago worldcup
“South Africa are a good team worldcup
They are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup,” the Saracens second row said worldcup
“We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one worldcup
We’re not talking about a team that has never lost, we’re not talking about a team that is without fault – they are a good team, but so are we worldcup
“I believe there is still a huge amount of growth to come from this team and I feel we haven’t seen the best of us yet worldcup
I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday nightEngland second row Maro Itoje“For us, it’s about imposing our game worldcup
We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing, we want to be England rugby worldcup
“I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday night and have a positive night worldcup
“When you get to these games, a lot of people say, ‘it’s just another game’ worldcup
This isn’t just another game worldcup
This is a special game worldcup
People are aware of what’s at stake worldcup
“These are special games and you don’t get many opportunities like this worldcup
It’s about us seizing the moment, being really present and taking any opportunities we get worldcup
”Itoje is one of eight survivors from the starting XV that was routed 32-12 by South Africa in the 2019 final and while Saturday offers the chance to avenge that defeat, the 28-year-old sees no value in looking backwards worldcup
“Different experience, different context, different opposition worldcup
It helps having the experience of playing in a semi-final before, but it’s completely, completely different,” he said worldcup
“We have to play the game that’s in front of us worldcup
We have to play this South African team, not the South African team of however many years ago worldcup
This South African team, not the one that they may be after this worldcup
“We have to be as individuals and as a collective, we have to be really present worldcup
We have to be really in the moment to deal with what we need to deal with worldcup

England take on Australia on Friday in their first-ever meeting of the WXV, a new tournament that promises to “revolutionise the women’s international rugby landscape” worldcup
Organisers hope it will act as a “springboard” for the 2025 World Cup, which will be hosted in six venues across England, helping to ensure the expanded 16-team tournament is the most competitive yet worldcup
Here, the PA news agency breaks down how the WXV works worldcup
What is the competition format?The WXV consists of 18 teams divided into three individual competitions: WXV 1, WXV 2 and WXV 3 worldcup
The top division, WXV 1, includes the top three Women’s Six Nations finishers and the top three from the cross-regional tournament which includes USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia worldcup
England, who won their 19th and fifth consecutive Six Nations title in 2023, are in the top tier alongside Australia, Wales, Canada, New Zealand and France worldcup
Scotland, whose tournament started on Friday, play alongside Italy, Japan, South Africa, Samoa and USA in the second-tier WXV 2, while Ireland are in the WXV 3 with Colombia, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Spain worldcup
The six teams in each competition are further broken down into two three-team pools and only take on teams in the other pool – a “cross-pool format” – to determine rankings at the end of the tournament worldcup
Should teams finish level on points, there are a series of tie-breakers beginning with the result of any matches played worldcup between the tied teams worldcup
Is there relegation worldcup between the levels?For at least the inaugural season there will be no relegation from WXV 1, but the bottom WXV 2 side will drop to WXV 3, which will see its top side promoted worldcup
Whoever finishes bottom in WXV 3 will face a play-off with the next-highest side in the World Rugby rankings, with the winner booking a place in WXV 3 the subsequent season worldcup
How does this affect World Cup qualification?While England are already assured of 2025 qualification as both tournament hosts and as 2021 World Cup semi-finalists, the 2024 edition of WXV will serve as a final chance for teams who have not managed to qualify by any other regional means, with a minimum of the top-five ranked sides at the end of that tournament also assuring themselves a place worldcup
Because the Red Roses were 2021 World Cup runners-up, there should be six places up for grabs come the end of the 2024 WXV worldcup
Where are the matches taking place?One innovation of the WXV is that each tier participates in a standalone tournament in a single location over the course of three weeks worldcup
The inaugural WXV will be hosted across New Zealand, with Cape Town welcoming the WXV 2 and Dubai the WXV 3 worldcup
There are some obvious advantages to this format worldcup
As women’s rugby aims to narrow the gap worldcup between its historically dominant nations – some of whom in recent years have turned fully-professional – and those who are still catching up, guaranteeing at least three Tests per year against competition performing at a similar level is a welcome prospect worldcup
So, too, will be the decision to host each competition in a single location, allowing teams to maximise their long-distance travel rather than flying across the world to meet just a single opponent worldcup
The “event”-like nature of the tournaments and rotating hosts should also allow organisers to capitalise on regional excitement and enthusiasm and, ideally, bring more women’s rugby fans into the fold worldcup
Will it be aired?ITV will air all three England and Wales matches on ITVX, with S4C also showing the Wales games worldcup
