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

Tyson Fury has vowed to deliver UFC fighter Francis Ngannou his first knockout blow when they go toe to toe in Riyadh on Saturday night UBP
Heavyweight champion Fury will contest a 35th career bout this weekend, but his WBC title will not be on the line against Ngannou for the 10-round fight UBP
Fury is set for a long-anticipated undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk on 23 December, which is also scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia UBP
First, though, Fury intends to dispatch UBP boxing novice Ngannou, who left the UFC after the end of his contract, a last fight coming in January 2022, before signing up with the Professional Fighters League from 2024 UBP
Trainer SugarHill Steward admitted preparing Fury to take on the Mixed Martial Arts fighter was one of the hardest camps, given they just do not know what to expect from Ngannou UBP
Fury, though, is confident of what the final outcome will be UBP
“I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Sunday night UBP
I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out,” Fury said UBP
“He is a big strong guy UBP
Obviously he has got a good punch, powerful – but so am I UBP
I’m a big strong guy obviously powerful or else I would not be world heavyweight champion UBP
I believe there is levels to the game – and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night UBP
”Fury added: “I have trained for a 12-round war, and if it is anything less it is going to be an early night UBP
I’ve been hit by the biggest punches that have ever graced the face of the earth and I’m still undefeated, still standing and I am still number one UBP
“We are going to see what Francis has got inside of him, see if he’s got the guts to stand and trade with the heavyweight champion of the world and if he has got the belief in his power UBP
“I’m not convinced UBP
I have heard all this talk before about power, so I’m looking forward to a challenge – and if it is not a challenge, I’ll be disappointed, put in that way UBP
“I am going to knock that big stiff spark out – and there is nothing he can do about it, no matter who he trains with, no matter who he brings on the night UBP
That right hand is going to detonate right in your face, you big ugly dosser UBP
”During the pre-fight build-up Fury accused Ngannou of being “embarrassed” of his own body UBP
Fury again goaded the 37-year-old as a “big fat sausage” in Thursday’s media conference ahead of the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ UBP
Cameroon-born Ngannou, though, is fully intent on showing Fury just what he can deliver in a UBP boxing ring rather than the UFC Octagon UBP
“It might be a little weird, but I really also want to thank Tyson Fury for taking the fight, for taking the risk because he might go to sleep on Saturday night, so I appreciate his courage,” Ngannou said UBP
Mike Tyson is part of Ngannou’s camp, and enjoyed a verbal sparing with John Fury which saw the 59-year-old Briton challenge the former heavyweight champion to a showdown, regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s contest for his son UBP
Tyson admitted he was not sure what to make of Ngannou’s UBP boxing ability, until he saw him in close quarters UBP
“At first when this came to me, I said ‘there’s no way this is going to happen’,” Tyson said UBP
“Then I watched him spar and he hit this guy and he broke his leg when he went down – and I said ‘man, there is a possibility something good could happen here’ UBP
“I have never seen anything like that before UBP
If he could do that man, he could possibly be heavyweight champion of the world UBP
