‘England have upper-hand’. Erasmus on Eddie Jones' greater experience
- 5 years ago
South Africa's Rassie Erasmus said he is excited but feeling the pressure as he leads his side into the Rugby World Cup final against England on Saturday.
He also believes England head coach Eddie Jones has the ''upper hand'' having coached both Australia and South Africa in World Cup finals - whereas this is his first attempt at lifting the Webb Ellis cup.
The head coach praised opponents England's performance against new Zealand in the semi-finals, saying ''they must be brimming with confidence, I am sure they are ready to bring that same intensity. We'll have to try and match that.''
