England rugby coach Eddie Jones has warned South Africa that tonight’s Rugby World Cup final is the game he has been planning for since he took control of the team in January 2016.
England are attempting to land their second World Cup to repeat the 2003 success and avenge the Springboks' victory in the 2007 final.
Jones says they have had four years to prepare for this game.

He says that is why the players can be relaxed because they know they have done the work.
Jones has had roles in the opposition camp in England’s two previous Rugby World Cup finals, pushing England deep into extra time with his native Australia in 2003, before joining up with South Africa on a short-term stint for their 2007 campaign.
England faces South Africa in the final of the Rugby World Cup at 9 tonight.
