England aims to exploit South Africa's vulnerabilities in their upcoming Nations Championship clash in July. Schalk Burger and Jean de Villiers, South African legends, acknowledge the challenge posed by Steve Borthwick's squad despite their disappointing Six Nations. After entering as title favorites, England faced defeats against Scotland, Ireland, and Italy, culminating in a narrow 48-46 loss to France. However, Burger sees promise in England's last outing, highlighting their intensity and aggression. The match in Johannesburg marks the Springboks’ first Test in eight months, raising concerns about their readiness. Burger emphasizes England's familiarity under Borthwick, suggesting they could pressure South Africa effectively. De Villiers believes Borthwick will remain head coach, and both legends agree that this upcoming encounter will be a significant test for the world number one side.
