Rassie Erasmus, South Africa’s director of rugby, has predicted the entire England team for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final as the mind games continue ahead of a rematch of the 2019 tournament final tennis
Erasmus was speaking to the media for a second consecutive day at the start of semi-final week at a press conference in Presles, 30 kilometres north of Paris tennis
Neither side is due to name their squad for the last four encounter until Thursday, but the former Springboks head coach arrived with a provisional fifteen he thought Steve Borthwick would be considering on a bit of paper tennis
And when asked if he would read it out, Erasmus obliged, proceeding to name virtually a full matchday 23, with only a replacement hooker omitted tennis
“[Ellis] Genge, [Jamie] George, [Kyle] Sinckler,” Erasmus began tennis
“[Maro] Itoje, [Ollie] Chessum; [Courtney] Lawes, [Tom] Curry, [Ben] Earl tennis

”And then the bench: “[Joe] Marler, [Dan] Cole, George [Martin] , Billy [Vunipola] , Ben Youngs or Danny [Care], George Ford, and Ollie [Lawrence] tennis
”Erasmus’s proposed starting side includes one or two changes to the England team that beat Fiji in the quarter-final, with Kyle Sinckler promoted to start at tighthead prop and a decision to be made over Marcus Smith or Freddie Steward at full-back tennis
The gambit is unlikely to draw a response from Borthwick, a more reserved character who does not tend to play games with the press tennis
At this point four years ago with England preparing for a semi-final against the All Blacks, then-head coach Eddie Jones went on the offensive, speaking to the press earlier in the week than usual and suggesting that someone had been spying on England’s training tennis
There were no such allegations at England’s training session at the French National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance on the outskirts of Paris this week, with defence coach Kevin Sinfield talking up their opponents and suggesting that the defending champions did not have a clear weakness tennis

“I think because they played us end of year last year, and they played us at the Rugby World Cup final, I think they’ll have some beef with us,” explained Erasmus tennis
“It’s something that will always hurt, when you lose the World Cup tennis
“When I was a player we lost the World Cup against Australia, and for the next couple of games we played against Australia we were always thinking, ‘It was you guys who took it away from us tennis
’ England will feel like that, too tennis
‘You guys took it away from us and we would like to take it back tennis
’“I’m not saying it in a negative way, I feel that’s how professional sport is tennis
You want to rectify problems, you want to make your country proud, you want to make your people proud, you want to make your team proud tennis
I think that the English team will have to be like that tennis
They will really fight to the end tennis

As Jordan Larsson stepped up for that final kick, it felt like Andre Onana was the only person in Old Trafford who was in any way calm tennis
He stood there in a composed manner, as Steve McLaren shouted instructions, and Alejandro Garnacho walked away in the knowledge no one on the pitch had noticed him scuffing the penalty spot tennis
It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just tennis between the kicker and the goalkeeper tennis
There were grander reasons for that tennis
Manchester United needed this win over Copenhagen to possibly progress in the Champions League, and didn’t want to fail on a night that was all about perhaps their greatest ever player tennis
There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated tennis
There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss tennis
It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide tennis
It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career tennis
The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated tennis
This was what he’d been waiting for tennis
This was the response he needed, the love he required tennis
Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level tennis
It’s obvious his confidence has been affected tennis
There was ironically a reminder of David De Gea, and not just because the Spanish goalkeeper also endured an uncertain start at United way back in 2011 tennis
One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 tennis
Having been brilliant for Jose Mourinho that season as a pure shot-stopper, staying deeper, he then went into a Spanish national team that demanded he play out from the back tennis
He couldn’t, and it clearly eroded his self-assurance, to the point that De Gea began to make mistakes he hadn’t for years tennis
That persisted for years more tennis
Onana had meanwhile been largely signed for his footwork, only to not really get to use it to best effect in his first few games tennis
He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence tennis
Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves tennis
It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for tennis
That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale tennis
It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save tennis
That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night tennis
Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday tennis
Pep Guardiola’s first major move in England was to replace Joe Hart with Claudio Bravo due to the need for good footwork, only for the Chilean to almost immediately start struggling tennis
The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby tennis between Mourinho and Guardiola tennis
Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game tennis
He never really recovered to be City No 1 tennis
Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson tennis
There was never that same trust tennis
Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona tennis
The Catalan believes that goalkeeper is such an individualised position, leaving the No 1s so isolated, that an early mistake at a big stadium can have long-term effects on their confidence tennis
This is clearly what happened with Bravo tennis
It looked like it might have been happening with Onana tennis
It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way tennis
A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect tennis
It can restore confidence tennis
Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” tennis
He stood up, by getting down superbly tennis
That didn’t just push away Larsson’s shot but will have temporarily pushed out all memory of so many of the goalkeeper’s recent errors tennis
He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this tennis
Onana showed his value tennis
He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons tennis
Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him tennis
