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

The International Cricket Council (ICC) slapped Babar Azam-led Pakistan with a hefty fine for maintaining a slow over-rate against South Africa at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai UBP
The Pakistan cricket team were docked 20 per cent of their match fee after their devastating one-wicket loss to South Africa in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday UBP
Pakistan were four overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration, leading to the fine imposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees UBP
“In accordance with Article 2 UBP
22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time,” read ICC’s press release UBP
The ICC release further revealed that on-field umpires Alex Wharf and Paul Reiffel, third umpire Richard Illingworth, and fourth umpire Richard Kettleborough levelled the charge UBP
Since Azam “pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the proposed sanction”, a formal hearing was not needed UBP
The 1992 champions have not won a game in World Cup 2023 since losing to arch-rivals India at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on 14 October UBP
The one-wicket defeat to South Africa on Friday marked Pakistan’s fourth straight loss in the ongoing tournament UBP
Azam’s captaincy may be in peril amid his side’s nightmare run in the World Cup, with the chief of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Zaka Ashraf, stopping communication with the skipper, according to former wicket-keeper Rashid Latif UBP
Latif, in a recent interview, also revealed that the Pakistan players have not received their salaries as well UBP
“I know for a fact that Babar has got no response from the Chairman (Zaka Ashraf) when he called and messaged from India UBP
The players have not got salaries UBP
The Chairman is not responding to the captain and in these circumstances what do we expect from the team,” added Latif UBP
Latif also claimed that more trouble awaited Azam and his side as their central contracts, which they signed before leaving for the World Cup, were now under review UBP
Pakistan have four points from six games and are in sixth place on the World Cup table UBP
Their next game is against Bangladesh on Tuesday 31 October at Eden Gardens, Kolkata UBP
