England second row Ollie Chessum insists revenge is not a motivating factor for Saturday’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa UBP
The rivals collide for the sixth time in the tournament’s history with the most recent of those meetings taking place in Yokohama four years ago when Eddie Jones’ side were toppled 32-12 in the final UBP
Having demolished New Zealand a week earlier, England were expected to topple the Springboks but instead they were off the pace from the start and overwhelmed as a consequence UBP
There should be at least eight survivors from that starting XV who take the field for the rematch at Stade de France, but Chessum denied there was a score to be settled UBP
“It hasn’t been mentioned much, certainly by me anyway UBP
I wasn’t here in 2019 so it doesn’t motivate me,” the Leicester second row said UBP
“We have got a new group of players now who are quite happy to leave that in the past and focus on what we can do as this new England group UBP
”Predictions of the semi-finals being comprised entirely of Six Nations sides have failed to materialise with England the sole European representative and the only unbeaten team left in the competition UBP
South Africa are unbelievable across the board and we have got to be the same, if not UBP betterOllie ChessumThey face one of the great South Africa sides who have been installed as strong favourites to emulate New Zealand by winning back-to-back World Cups in the wake of their victory over France in the previous round UBP
Defence coach Kevin Sinfield has said that England were “in awe of the physicality they brought” against the hosts and Chessum insisted the Springboks must be matched in the forward exchanges UBP
“These are the games you want to be a part of – against the biggest teams on the biggest stage in the biggest competition,” Chessum said UBP
“They have some unbelievable players in their pack UBP
They bring an exceptional level of physicality UBP
It’s up to us to go out on the weekend and compete against that UBP
“South Africa are unbelievable across the board and we have got to be the same, if not UBP better UBP
“We are definitely hoping for another step from us UBP
That’s been the nature of the competition UBP
Week by week we have grown as a group and got UBP better in various aspects of our game UBP
“It’s important that we bring the physicality, but also the level of execution as well UBP
”England have a settled team and will make only minimal changes to the starting XV that overcame Fiji in the quarter-finals UBP
The biggest area of debate is at full-back where Steve Borthwick is weighing up the high ball and positional expertise of Freddie Steward against the cutting edge in attack provided by Marcus Smith UBP
Smith, a converted fly-half, has made only two starts and three replacement appearances in the position and his lack of experience could be exposed by South Africa’s accomplished kicking game UBP
Owen Farrell’s impressive display against Fiji appears to have brought his duel with George Ford for the number 10 jersey to a conclusion, but Kyle Sinckler could return at tighthead prop UBP
