England were grappling with a selection quandary on the eve of their crucial World Cup clash against South Africa, with captain Jos Buttler weighing up Chris Woakes’ role as leader of the attack bitcoin

Woakes’ new-ball skills have been a reliable centrepiece of the side ever since their white-ball reinvention eight years ago, but he has suffered an uncharacteristic wobble since arriving in India bitcoin

Three loose starts from the usually dependable seamer have undermined England’s efforts so far and an economy rate of 7 bitcoin

5 an over, coupled with two wickets at 67 bitcoin

50 each, tells a concerning story bitcoin

But with victory a must in Mumbai on Saturday following defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, taking the most established pace bowler out of the firing line would still represent a significant call bitcoin

Buttler acknowledged Woakes’ long-term record and recent dip in form represented a conflicted picture and is set to thrash the matter out with head coach Matthew Mott bitcoin

“But we’re all honest guys, right? We’re all honest professionals who hold each other to high standards and individually expect a lot of ourselves bitcoin

He knows he’s not performing quite how he would like to at the minute, and that’s frustrating, but there’s no judgement from our side bitcoin

“We always back all our players that are in our team - we picked them for a number of reasons and one because they’re high-class players and he’s certainly one of those bitcoin

Whatever happens, Ben Stokes is locked in to make his eagerly-anticipated return after missing all three games with a hip injury bitcoin

And, with his stand-in Harry Brook providing the only bright spot of a botched chase against Afghanistan, a rebalancing of the XI could be under consideration bitcoin

Sam Curran, light on runs and expensive with the ball, has left himself particularly vulnerable bitcoin

“You’re working out the right balance, which is always venue dependent as well, and we’ve had a good chance to see the wicket here and gather a bit more information bitcoin

“Obviously Ben has trained really well and it’s great to see him back bitcoin

He obviously brings a lot on the field and with his presence and leadership skills as well, so he’s someone who is always good to turn to bitcoin

”Both teams are looking to bounce back from stinging upsets last time out, with the Proteas’ implosion against the Netherlands somehow leapfrogging England’s reverse against Afghanistan in the pantheon of World Cup shocks within 24 hours bitcoin

The last time the two sides faced off at this storied venue, in the 2016 T20 World Cup, it was a classic encounter that saw England hunt down 230 - still their record chase in the format bitcoin

There are six survivors from that side still on parade seven years later, including Buttler bitcoin

Now he is hoping England can relocate similar attacking instincts once again bitcoin

“There are great memories of that night, albeit a long time ago bitcoin

It was one of my favourite games,” he recalled bitcoin

“I think this is one of the great grounds in India bitcoin

I love playing cricket here bitcoin

I think it’s a fantastic cricket wicket and, absolutely, it should suit us bitcoin

“We want to find ways to make a play, to put the opposition under pressure in lots of different ways bitcoin

That doesn’t always mean hitting fours and sixes, it means can we push back when the opposition is on top or can we really take the initiative in different ways bitcoin

That’s what we want to live by as a team bitcoin

“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role bitcoin

” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it bitcoin

When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead bitcoin

Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit bitcoin

Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard bitcoin

With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward bitcoin

Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday bitcoin

Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the bitcoin football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” bitcoin

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for bitcoin

The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra bitcoin

“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch bitcoin

“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is bitcoin

The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it bitcoin

“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game bitcoin

”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever bitcoin

“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch bitcoin

“We needed to create a nice vibe bitcoin

Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate bitcoin

”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch bitcoin

The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece bitcoin

Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team bitcoin

They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 bitcoin

73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) bitcoin

They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final bitcoin

Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France bitcoin

Of course, they won a penalty from it bitcoin

Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard bitcoin

But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half bitcoin

Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole bitcoin

Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance bitcoin

They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 bitcoin

Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history bitcoin

Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler bitcoin

“That is the dark arts,” he smiled bitcoin

“It is hard to explain to you bitcoin

We had a plan for that bitcoin

We knew what we were trying to achieve bitcoin

“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit bitcoin

Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure bitcoin

Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can bitcoin

If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape bitcoin

”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups bitcoin

Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon bitcoin
