Jones made changes to his front-row with Bevan Rodd and Jamie Blamire starting along with Kyle Sinckler.

They will however have to measure themselves against the in-form Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi and Trevor Nyakane.

Jones also opted for a six-two split that sees loose forwards Alex Dombrandt and Sam Simmonds named on the bench.

Jones said they can beat the Springboks at their own game.

“You have to get stuck in because there's no getting away from the fight, but there are other opportunities to hurt them in other ways," Jones said.

“Physicality is an important part of Test rugby and if you look at the history between South Africa and England, they've got a 65 percent record and I think it's based purely on their physicality.

“In the World Cup final where they beat us fair-and-square, they knew where our weaknesses were, but our forward pack isn't weak and we'll have a chance to show that on Saturday.

“We'll also try to expose the weakness in their game which they do have.”

Saturday afternoon’s Test at Twickenham kicks off at 17:15.
