England vs South Africa the rematch... the lions are roaring!!

England are a completely a different team than the one who played South Africa on 14th September. The team now have a greater momentum, far greater self-belief, they are a different team. It is new game, on a new level. This team when they hold their emotions and channel their emotions correctly, convey the passion, pride, drive and stick to their game plan on the day. if England do this then England can and will be successful. England were warriors and men at war last saturday against France, blood and guts and their soul were given on the pitch. England are playing as a cohesive unit, their communication and understanding of each other and awareness of themselves and of others on the pitch was outstanding- this is key and keeping the players minds focussed on the game, minute by minute, at hand and not on the trophy and the bigger picture of winning the World Cup final.   

England's self belief and momentum is greater at this point then the South Africans. This is on the back of the two wins against Australia and France. We know from experience that England perform, as they themselves now know and are aware of and have shown that they can perform under pressure. The team that wins on Saturday evening will be the one that can control their emotions in a helpful and conducive way so that this won't change or affect their flow of play. The players need to understand and stick to their roles,  understand each other and continue their effective communication as well as maintaining their form and passion.... the lions are roaring and understanding each other...
