How to watch England vs South Africa for FREE: TV channel and live stream for Women’s Rugby World Cup game

England take on South Africa in their final Pool C encounter at the Women’s Rugby World Cup on Sunday.

The Red Roses head to the Waitakere Stadium in Auckland having already booked their place in the quarter-finals with an opening 14-try rout of Fiji and harder-fought victory over France.

Now Simon Middleton’s side will attempt to secure the best seeding possible for the knockout phase against a Springbok outfit that sit bottom of the table after being knocked out of the tournament with a last-gasp defeat by Fiji last weekend.

England show 13 changes from the side that beat France as Middleton looks to utilise his formidable strength in depth, with Marlie Packer captaining her country for the first time on her 86th cap.

Only Packer and fly-half Zoe Harrison retain their starting berths, though there is no fewer than 403 caps on the bench if things begin to go pear-shaped.
