Pierre Spies has challenged his teammates to accept their responsibility for the side’s current form as they look to relieve the pressure on coach Jake White against England at Twickenham this weekend.

South Africa coach Jake White has promised England flyhalf Charlie Hodgson a second torrid match at Twickenham in as many weeks as the Springboks bid to send the world champions crashing to a record eighth straight loss. Hodgson was taken off early in the second half of England’s inept 25-18 defeat by Argentina last weekend.

South Africa coach Jake White made several changes to his side for Saturday’s opening Test against England, bringing in six players to his starting line-up from the team that ran out in last weekend’s tour-opening 32-15 defeat against Ireland.
Wite also made several positional switches for what will be the first of two back-to-back Tests against world champions England at Twickenham.
