Stay in the game
England have a far better chance than they have been credited with this week. “Who is the underdog?” is actually a meaningless question. It’s a two-horse race in the semi-final of a World Cup and England have earned the right to play the reigning world champions in Paris. To succeed, the first thing they have to do is stay in the game. They cannot allow the Springboks to storm into an unassailable lead, or run away with the game as they did in the second half of the 2019 final.
