It's a familiar foe with England having defeated the Proteas in consecutive World Cup semifinals in Bristol (2017) and Christchurch (2022).

Good thing, this is a group game then, for the Proteas actually beat their arch-rivals in the corresponding World Cup fixture four years ago in Mount Manganui.
