What has been said?
England head coach Steve Borthwick: "It is the right time to bring Freddie (Steward) in for this game. He has trained really well and played really well for his club so far this season. George is available and I'm pleased with what he has done in the last couple of weeks but I felt it was a physical game for him last week.
"South Africa kick more contestable kicks than anybody else in the world. It means you have to be very good under the high ball and have to be good in chasing the high ball."
South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus: "England poses a completely different challenge to Scotland, and we selected our squad based on what we would like to do in the match and also what we think will be best to counter the challenge England poses.
"Fortunately, we have quite a few players who can switch positions if necessary, so we feel we have adequate depth throughout the team, which allowed us to select this group of replacements."
