Watch England vs South Africa live streams today, as the beleaguered hosts front up for the beatdown of beatdowns. Below we have all the information on how to watch England vs the Springboks from anywhere with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, live streams and start times.
When you're struggling like England are, the very last opponent you'd want to face are the swaggering back-to-back world champions and newly crowned Rugby Championship winners. The Springboks comfortably beat Scotland at Murrayfield last weekend, outscoring them by four tries to none despite giving skipper Siya Kolisi most of the night off.
England, meanwhile, threw away a 12-point lead and conceded more than 40 points at Twickenham against an Australia team in the midst of a rebuild. They've now lost four in a row, and five of their last six. Head coach Steve Borthwick is in desperate need of a positive result.
