England second row Ollie Chessum insists revenge is not a motivating factor for Saturday’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa UBP
The rivals collide for the sixth time in the tournament’s history with the most recent of those meetings taking place in Yokohama four years ago when Eddie Jones’ side were toppled 32-12 in the final UBP
Having demolished New Zealand a week earlier, England were expected to topple the Springboks but instead they were off the pace from the start and overwhelmed as a consequence UBP
There should be at least eight survivors from that starting XV who take the field for the rematch at Stade de France, but Chessum denied there was a score to be settled UBP
“It hasn’t been mentioned much, certainly by me anyway UBP
I wasn’t here in 2019 so it doesn’t motivate me,” the Leicester second row said UBP
“We have got a new group of players now who are quite happy to leave that in the past and focus on what we can do as this new England group UBP
”Predictions of the semi-finals being comprised entirely of Six Nations sides have failed to materialise with England the sole European representative and the only unbeaten team left in the competition UBP
South Africa are unbelievable across the board and we have got to be the same, if not UBP betterOllie ChessumThey face one of the great South Africa sides who have been installed as strong favourites to emulate New Zealand by winning back-to-back World Cups in the wake of their victory over France in the previous round UBP
Defence coach Kevin Sinfield has said that England were “in awe of the physicality they brought” against the hosts and Chessum insisted the Springboks must be matched in the forward exchanges UBP
“These are the games you want to be a part of – against the biggest teams on the biggest stage in the biggest competition,” Chessum said UBP
“They have some unbelievable players in their pack UBP
They bring an exceptional level of physicality UBP
It’s up to us to go out on the weekend and compete against that UBP
“South Africa are unbelievable across the board and we have got to be the same, if not UBP better UBP
“We are definitely hoping for another step from us UBP
That’s been the nature of the competition UBP
Week by week we have grown as a group and got UBP better in various aspects of our game UBP
“It’s important that we bring the physicality, but also the level of execution as well UBP
”England have a settled team and will make only minimal changes to the starting XV that overcame Fiji in the quarter-finals UBP
The biggest area of debate is at full-back where Steve Borthwick is weighing up the high ball and positional expertise of Freddie Steward against the cutting edge in attack provided by Marcus Smith UBP
Smith, a converted fly-half, has made only two starts and three replacement appearances in the position and his lack of experience could be exposed by South Africa’s accomplished kicking game UBP
Owen Farrell’s impressive display against Fiji appears to have brought his duel with George Ford for the number 10 jersey to a conclusion, but Kyle Sinckler could return at tighthead prop UBP

Maro Itoje insists South Africa are not infallible as he urges England to seize the chance to clinch a place in the World Cup final UBP
The rivals collide at the Stade de France on Saturday with the Springboks red hot favourites to retain the crown they won against England in Yokohama four years ago UBP
But Steve Borthwick’s men are the only unbeaten side left in the tournament and Itoje is convinced they have yet to play their best rugby since landing on these shores seven weeks ago UBP
“South Africa are a good team UBP
They are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup,” the Saracens second row said UBP
“We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one UBP
We’re not talking about a team that has never lost, we’re not talking about a team that is without fault – they are a good team, but so are we UBP
“I believe there is still a huge amount of growth to come from this team and I feel we haven’t seen the best of us yet UBP
I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday nightEngland second row Maro Itoje“For us, it’s about imposing our game UBP
We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing, we want to be England rugby UBP
“I believe that if we put our best out on the field, we are going to be celebrating on Saturday night and have a positive night UBP
“When you get to these games, a lot of people say, ‘it’s just another game’ UBP
This isn’t just another game UBP
This is a special game UBP
People are aware of what’s at stake UBP
“These are special games and you don’t get many opportunities like this UBP
It’s about us seizing the moment, being really present and taking any opportunities we get UBP
”Itoje is one of eight survivors from the starting XV that was routed 32-12 by South Africa in the 2019 final and while Saturday offers the chance to avenge that defeat, the 28-year-old sees no value in looking backwards UBP
“Different experience, different context, different opposition UBP
It helps having the experience of playing in a semi-final before, but it’s completely, completely different,” he said UBP
“We have to play the game that’s in front of us UBP
We have to play this South African team, not the South African team of however many years ago UBP
This South African team, not the one that they may be after this UBP
“We have to be as individuals and as a collective, we have to be really present UBP
We have to be really in the moment to deal with what we need to deal with UBP
