WE'RE READY FOR TAKE-OFF

Tough times will make England miles better in summer, says Sam

- ADAM HATHAWAY

SAM UNDERHILL insists he can see light at the end of the tunnel for England despite their darkest Six Nations as they prepare to face Test rugby's ultimate challenge.

They had better get their skates on because next up, on July 4 at fortress Ellis Park in Johannesburg, England face reigning world champions South Africa.

Over the following two Saturdays they face Fiji in Liverpool before travelling to Argentina to play Los Pumas in the new Nations Championship. They will clock up about 25,000 air miles on the back of their worst Six Nations in history return of just one win in five.
