England team and the best Boks ever?

England's team has been named.

Jamie George coming up on the pod.

We're gonna go down to England team hotel any minute now.

More special guests to come on the Rugby Union Weekly.

Um, I'm sure by now whoever's listening would have seen the England team, but if they haven't, Grace, just to rattle through it.

Front row, Genge, George, Hayes.

Second row, Coles and a returning George Martin.

That's a welcome man back, having not played for England since the Six Nations of 2025.

Chessum, Curry, and Earl.

Chessum at six, where he played so well in Paris.

Jack van Poortvliet gets the nod at number nine, with Finn Smith at 10.

Uh, Seb Atkinson and Tommy Freeman for a third test in a row.

They are 12 and 13, but it's still a very inexperienced center pairing, especially compared to, to Kremer and De Allende for the Boks.

George Furbank, first England appearance since November 24, so getting on a couple of years.

And then Cade and Murley, and Manny FuaBotso.

So pick the bones out of that one, Grace.

Yeah, pretty much the team we discussed, uh, off air.

Nine potentially could have been Spencer or Mitchell.

I think Mitchell coming back to fitness after that hamstring, so van Poortvliet gets the nod.

Furbank and Smith in the back line will hope to bring continuity from Northampton, and they certainly will attack with those two in the team.

George Furbank doesn't need any second invitations to run it from the back.

Um, and then up front, you know the enormity of the task that, that faces the pack.

It's gonna take, uh, the starting eight plus six off the bench, uh, to do a job.

The, the Springboks are imposing, uh, but Ellis Park, it's ...

They've got it all to do.
