England Rugby Makes Changes for South Africa Test

News summary

England has made four significant changes to their lineup ahead of the match against world champions South Africa, seeking to break a four-match winless streak. Freddie Steward returns to full-back, replacing George Furbank, while Jack van Poortvliet steps in at scrum-half for Ben Spencer, who has been dropped after two disappointing performances. Ollie Sleightholme earns his first start on the wing in place of the injured Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, and Sam Underhill replaces Tom Curry, who is sidelined due to concussion. Head coach Steve Borthwick's selections suggest a focus on enhancing aerial prowess against South Africa, a team known for its physicality. The changes come after England's recent narrow defeats to New Zealand and Australia, increasing pressure on the coaching staff. Borthwick expressed excitement for the challenge against the top-ranked Springboks, indicating a desire to revitalize the team's performance.
