• Coach says his team will not be taken by surprise
• But scrum-half Faf de Klerk adds they must improve discipline
Rassie Erasmus has warned England that South Africa will not be taken by surprise in the final here on Saturday after the Springboks held their nerve to defeat Wales and end Warren Gatland’s World Cup dream in a tight, tense semi-final.
South Africa have only lost one match this year, to New Zealand on the opening weekend of the World Cup. No team have ever won the tournament having been defeated in the group stage but Erasmus, their head coach, believes they can make history.
