We are three hours away from one of the biggest challenges an English rugby union side has faced recently. England go into tonight's game with South Africa without a recognised fly half after an injury last week to Jonny Wilkinson, and then reserve Olly Barkley went down with a hip injury this week. Both do expect to be fit for next week's match but tonight's game was going to be a good marker of what to expect from England in this tournament. Mike Catt, will wear the number 10, contrary to earlier reports. Not that it matters. Both Catt, and centre Andy Farrell will share the playmaker duties, with Farrell taking over the kicking duties.
Let's hope England can put on a display that does show what they can do, and gives us supporters cause for optimism for the future of the tournament.
