Eddie Jones: 'England will play with no fear in World Cup final'

The final on Saturday is a repeat of the 2007 showpiece.

Eddie Jones repeated the mantra “no fear” as he lit the fuse for the final of a World Cup he does not want to end.

England and South Africa meet at International Stadium Yokohama on Saturday in a heavyweight collision that is a repeat of the 2007 showpiece when the Springboks emerged controversial winners.

For only the second time in his four-year England reign and the first since 2016, Jones named an unchanged starting XV with Ben Spencer replacing hamstring injury victim Willi Heinz the only adjustment to the bench.

“Every week we pick the team we think is right for the occasion,” Jones said.

“We look at the conditions, the referee, the opposition, we look at the way we want to play and we feel that is the best balance for the team this week.

Kyle Sinckler is going to be absolutely buzzing at the weekend, he’ll be out there ready to go.”

Jonny May was also passed fit after suffering a dead leg against New Zealand and Jones added on Sky Sports News: “Jonny’s much better, he played in a lot of pain last week.

“They weren’t great concerns, we always felt they were going to be ready to play.”

Farrell leads a side that contains 731 caps as England bid to lift the Webb Ellis Trophy for the second time in fourth final.
