The last time these sides met was in a dramatic 2023 World Cup semi-final in which South Africa progressed by a single point.
The back-to-back champions have since won the Rugby Championship and managed to overcome a dogged Scotland last week. Rassie Erasmus's men weren't at their best, however, being made to dig deep to stagger away from Murrayfield with a win.
Saturday's hosts will need to embrace the positives from the last couple of matches — scoring points hasn't been a problem and they were leading the All Blacks and Australia before going down to last gasp scores.
Can they get one over the Springboks on Saturday and break their four game losing streak? Read on to see your England vs South Africa live stream options and how to watch 2024 Autumn International rugby from anywhere.
