Reigning champions South Africa are overwhelming favourites for victory and expected to face New Zealand, who take on Argentina in the other last-four fixture, in the final mobile
“To talk about the All Blacks would be disrespectful to England because they’re a massive, massive speed bump for us to get over,” said Erasmus mobile
“More so a pothole than a speed bump because I was just looking at the possible teams I think can play mobile
“They have so many experienced players that played against us last time mobile
“I think because they’ve played us in the World Cup final they will have some beef with us mobile
I think they were be very physical, I think they will definitely step it up at all set phases mobile

He then, when prompted, listed England’s possible matchday 23 mobile
“I think we have averaged 200 minutes per player, they 260,” said Erasmus mobile
“I think the average caps of our team will be about 54, they’ll be about 59 mobile
I think the average age of our team is 30, the average age of their team about 29 mobile
And then the average weight is 104 (kilograms) and 105 mobile
“England are unbeaten, they stuck to their guns since he (Borthwick) has been appointed, and they kept believing in what they’re doing and it’s paying off mobile
“You can see their team is full of belief and they will definitely be hurting from not just last year when we beat them (27-13 at Twickenham) but also from the World Cup in 2019 mobile
“So they will be a very, very desperate team and a team which we respect mobile
”Asked for the England team written down on his sheet of paper, Erasmus replied: “We’re guessing obviously mobile
“Genge, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Chessum, Lawes, Curry, Earl, Mitchell, Farrell, Daly, Tuilagi, Marchant, May and Marcus Smith or Steward then Marler, Cole, George (Martin), Billy (Vunipola), Ben Youngs or Danny (Care), George Ford and Ollie (Lawrence), that’s who we think mobile
