Jones makes three changes to his squad for South Africa

Eddie Jones prior to England’s clash with the Barbarians

England head coach Eddie Jones has finalised selection ahead of England’s tour to South Africa next month. The updated 34-man squad has convened at Pennyhill Park today to begin their final preparations before flying to South Africa on Saturday for the three-Test series.

There are three changes to the squad. Piers Francis (Northampton Saints), Nathan Hughes (Wasps) and Jason Woodward (Gloucester Rugby) are included following the withdrawal of Cameron Redpath (knee), Ben Te’o (small repair to quad muscle) and Jack Willis (knee).

England last won a match in South Africa in 2000 and were disappointing in a 63-45 defeat to the Barbarians at Twickenham on Sunday.

But head coach Jones, a former Springboks assistant who guided Japan to a stunning upset of the traditional powerhouse at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, believes his inside knowledge can make the difference.

“I probably understand the South African rugby psyche, as well as anyone, having had experiences there,” he said. “And I know what they are going to be like when they play England.

“There are certain cultural issues between the two countries that provide great motivation for the South Africans.

“You have to be able to exploit that and use it in a positive way.

“How can you use their dislike of the English to create an opportunity for yourself because you know [in the first Test] at Ellis Park they will be unbelievably passionate and aggressive for the first 20 minutes.

“That creates opportunities for us. We have to be good enough to understand those opportunities and execute them.”

Following the first Test on June 9, the teams meet in Bloemfontein on June 16 and Cape Town seven days later.
