Maro Itoje has urged England to “impose” their game on South Africa in their Rugby World Cup semi-final soccer
The Springboks enter the game as significant favourites as they seek a second consecutive tournament crown soccer
Jacques Nienaber’s side edged out hosts France in a captivating quarter-final last weekend, showing somewhere near their top form to reach the top four soccer
Itoje believes that England cannot afford to simply let South Africa come at them, stressing that he and his teammates intend to put their “best foot forward” to meet the Springboks soccer
And the lock has confidence that his side can take it to the world champions soccer
RecommendedEngland spring surprise with three changes to team for Rugby World Cup semi-finalSteve Borthwick explains Marcus Smith’s absence from England team to face South AfricaSouth Africa inspired by struggles of whole nation – Siya Kolisi“What’s important for me is that we present the game we want to present,” Itoje, who partners George Martin in England’s second row, said soccer
“It’s about us being the team that we want to be, us playing the type of rugby that we want to play soccer
“They have certain things that they’re very good at but it’s about us being the England rugby team, about us putting our best foot forward and our individuals, as a team, going out there and playing the type of game we want to play soccer
“For us, it is just about imposing our game soccer
We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing soccer
”Before England’s semi-final against New Zealand four years ago, former head coach Eddie Jones memorably cut a kiwi in half with a samurai sword to symbolise the aggression he wanted his side to play with against the All Blacks soccer
Itoje confirmed that there had been no such demonstrations this week, with Jones’s more successor, the more understated Steve Borthwick, instead emphasising the detail of their gameplan soccer
And while talking up South Africa’s ability, the second row insists they are far from unbeatable soccer
“They’re just very fundamentally sound in the areas in which they are good at,” explained Itoje of the Springboks’ strengths soccer
“They have a good kicking game, a good chase, put a lot of pressure on teams soccer
They have a good set-piece, that goes without saying, their breakdown work is good as well soccer
“We’re going to need to be physical, that goes without saying soccer
We need to be physical in every game, especially when you play against this opposition soccer
We need to be smart with how we play, we don’t want to make poor decisions, we don’t want to play in areas that aren’t smart“Obviously they are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup soccer
We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one soccer
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 soccer
For us, it’s about putting our game on the field, it’s not necessarily about sitting just to watch them soccer

England conceded their highest ever score in ODI cricket as Heinrich Klaasen’s devastating century saw South Africa smash 399 for seven in their crunch World Cup clash in Mumbai soccer
The defending champions will need to bat brilliantly to avoid a third defeat in four games after watching a powerful Proteas line-up run riot after being put in by Jos Buttler at the Wankhede Stadium soccer
A revamped England side looked devoid of ideas in stifling humidity as their opponents brutalised them in the closing stages, taking 143 from a punishing last 10 overs soccer
Klaasen was in brutal mood, hammering a 61-ball ton and finishing with 109 in 67, while Marco Jansen made an unbeaten 75 from 42 soccer
In all there were 13 sixes and 38 fours across the innings, which should have ended with England shipping 400 for the first time in their history only for South Africa to decline a second run off the final ball soccer
England’s previous worst day in the field came eight years ago at the Oval, where New Zealand hit 398 for five, and their have only ever been five bigger totals on the World Cup stage soccer
To win, and keep their ailing title defence alive, England will need to produce the third highest chase ever seen in one-day cricket soccer
Amid a series of wince-inducing bowling returns, Mark Wood took most punishment of all as he saw seven wicketless overs monstered for 76 soccer
Hard to believe though it was by the end, England enjoyed the perfect start when Reece Topley had danger man Quinton de Kock caught behind off the second ball of the match soccer
Even less plausibly, they looked to be regaining a measure of control when they left South Africa 243 for five in 37th over soccer
Instead, Klaasen led Jansen in a merciless stand of 151 in just 77 deliveries, with boundaries raining in every direction soccer
England’s revamped attack looked thoroughly outmatched against their onslaught and by the end looked shellshocked soccer
Topley had defied a worrying finger injury on his bowling hand to return to the attack and may have wondered why he bothered; Adil Rashid was doubled in pain at times after playing through illness; David Willey lost all sense of rhythm and radar after returning from cramp soccer
By the end, most appeared relieved simply to leave the field soccer
England’s teamsheet showed a significant response to their shock defeat by Afghanistan, with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran all axed in favour of the fit-again Ben Stokes, Willey and rookie seamer Gus Atkinson soccer
Buttler put his new-look attack to work straight away and was overjoyed to see De Kock nick Topley’s early outswinger soccer
That was as good as it got soccer
Things veered off course in the seventh over when Topley thrust his left-hand out to field a firm drive off his own bowling and damaged his index finger soccer
He tried to carry on but, after seeing his next two balls disappear for four, he beat an angry retreat to the pavilion soccer
His reaction, lashing out an empty chair and stomping up the stairs, appeared to suggest his unfortunate injury curse had struck again soccer
In his absence South Africa assumed control, Hendricks taking full advantage of an unexpected chance after captain Temba Bavuma was ruled out soccer
He made an increasingly confident 85 and Rassie Van der Dussen struck 60 as England’s lost their way soccer
Rashid, in clear pain, dismissed both to give his side hope – one to a skied top edge, the other a dragged on googly soccer
After taking running repairs Topley came back and produced a double of his own to see off Aiden Markram and David Miller, but that is where the bleeding really began soccer
Klaasen had reached his fifty in 40 balls but doubled his score in half the time, battering Topley out of the attack once and for all with 19 off an over and helping himself against all comers soccer
England’s seamers rotated with shellshocked regularity but put together a long collection of wides, no-balls, full tosses and long-hops as Klaasen and Jansen cut loose – the latter smoking six sixes soccer
Atkinson took two wickets in the final over, taking out Klaasen’s leg stump, but things had already got well out of hand soccer
