England v South Africa: Springboks unchanged for Twickenham clash The plan was always to give Elton a run on the tour. He's shown earlier in the season that he can play Test rugby. It's also good for his development as a player to experience the conditions here and to play in front of a big crowd like Twickenham. South Africa captain Jean de Villiers will become the fifth most-capped Springbok of all time when he leads the team out in in his 84th Test. I'm very chuffed for Jean, He took over the captaincy in a challenging year and has been a rock in our team. The fact that Jean has played in every Test this season, and finished all of them, is testimony to his amazing resilience and work ethic. Jean has been the glue that has kept our team together and for that I salute him.
