England vs South Africa rugby: TV channel, kick-off time, live stream and team news

England will be hoping that they can produce the rugby that saw them bounce back from 25-6 down against New Zealand to earn a 25-25 draw last weekend as they face world champions South Africa at Twickenham.

They will host the Springboks in South-West London on Saturday with the hope of beating the side which defeated them in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final in Japan. Eddie Jones's men beat South Africa last November, with Marcus Smith scoring a last minute penalty to win the match.

Both sides have had mixed campaigns this November and will be hoping to end on a high, with South Africa having lost to France and Ireland. Meanwhile, England lost to Argentina in their opening fixture before bouncing back with a win against Japan before their draw with the All Blacks.

Northampton winger Tommy Freeman also starts in place of Jack Nowell with clubmate Alex Coles coming into the pack.
