Maro Itoje has urged England to “impose” their game on South Africa in their Rugby World Cup semi-final soccer
The Springboks enter the game as significant favourites as they seek a second consecutive tournament crown soccer
Jacques Nienaber’s side edged out hosts France in a captivating quarter-final last weekend, showing somewhere near their top form to reach the top four soccer
Itoje believes that England cannot afford to simply let South Africa come at them, stressing that he and his teammates intend to put their “best foot forward” to meet the Springboks soccer
And the lock has confidence that his side can take it to the world champions soccer
RecommendedEngland spring surprise with three changes to team for Rugby World Cup semi-finalSteve Borthwick explains Marcus Smith’s absence from England team to face South AfricaSouth Africa inspired by struggles of whole nation – Siya Kolisi“What’s important for me is that we present the game we want to present,” Itoje, who partners George Martin in England’s second row, said soccer
“It’s about us being the team that we want to be, us playing the type of rugby that we want to play soccer
“They have certain things that they’re very good at but it’s about us being the England rugby team, about us putting our best foot forward and our individuals, as a team, going out there and playing the type of game we want to play soccer
“For us, it is just about imposing our game soccer
We don’t want to sit back and just watch them do their thing soccer
”Before England’s semi-final against New Zealand four years ago, former head coach Eddie Jones memorably cut a kiwi in half with a samurai sword to symbolise the aggression he wanted his side to play with against the All Blacks soccer
Itoje confirmed that there had been no such demonstrations this week, with Jones’s more successor, the more understated Steve Borthwick, instead emphasising the detail of their gameplan soccer
And while talking up South Africa’s ability, the second row insists they are far from unbeatable soccer
“They’re just very fundamentally sound in the areas in which they are good at,” explained Itoje of the Springboks’ strengths soccer
“They have a good kicking game, a good chase, put a lot of pressure on teams soccer
They have a good set-piece, that goes without saying, their breakdown work is good as well soccer
“We’re going to need to be physical, that goes without saying soccer
We need to be physical in every game, especially when you play against this opposition soccer
We need to be smart with how we play, we don’t want to make poor decisions, we don’t want to play in areas that aren’t smart“Obviously they are the current world champions, they’ve had a very good World Cup soccer
We’ve played them twice since 2019, they’ve won one, we’ve won one soccer
We’re not talking about a team that has never lost, we’re not talking about a team that is without fault, they are a good team but so are we soccer
For us, it’s about putting our game on the field, it’s not necessarily about sitting just to watch them soccer

If nothing else, Darwin Nunez found a novel way to create a goal soccer
On a night where goals arrived in copious quantities at Anfield, there were two extraordinary misses soccer
And if the Toulouse left-back Gabriel Suazo had seemed to perform an unexpected impression of Nunez, failing to score when confronted by a goal that lacked a goalkeeper, there was a certain, perverse inevitability in the Uruguayan upstaging him soccer
It seemed another of the moments that are Nunez in a nutshell, his threat and his profligacy in the space of seconds soccer
A lovely, deft touch to take him past a defender, the pace to burst past goalkeeper Guillaume Restes and then, with an open goal, the shot that hit the post soccer
All was well that ended well, for Nunez and Liverpool: as he wreaked havoc, they struck anyway soccer
Ryan Gravenberch latched on to the rebound, showed greater composure and beat Restes to score his side’s fourth goal of the night soccer
Exit Nunez, substituted with Anfield chorusing his name soccer
He was already on the scoresheet, with a rasping, rising shot, struck with both ferocity and an unerring accuracy some of his other efforts lack soccer
He had been denied, too, by Restes, after a lovely, dainty piece of footwork soccer
Full of forceful running and defence-stretching pace, it amounted to a curiosity of a performance, and yet an entirely typical one soccer
It was a year to the day since he had missed a sitter and scored in a Champions League game against Ajax soccer
The competition and the opposition changed but, 365 days on, some things stayed the same soccer
But if Darwin was Darwin, the excellent and the erratic, the beneficiary of his wastefulness was the game’s outstanding performer soccer
The Europa League can have fringe benefits for clubs such as Liverpool and, after Gravenberch’s arrival in the last couple of hours of the transfer window, it has offered him a chance to both integrate and impress soccer
The Dutchman’s first assist for Liverpool came in Austria against Linz, his first goal in the home win over Union Saint-Gilloise soccer
His second came against Toulouse soccer
As Jurgen Klopp’s side completed a hat-trick of victories, his fourth summer signing made it three fine displays in continental competition soccer
If, at times, this felt a bit too easy for Liverpool, it enabled Gravenberch to illustrate his ability soccer
He is a rangy runner, his legs appearing telescopic as he seemed to extend them to keep the ball under control and confound opponents soccer
One solo run, a meandering affair that took him past several defenders, culminated in a sharp turn and shot that Restes had to claw away soccer
Another led, albeit indirectly, to Nunez’s goal soccer
Factor in a willingness to get into the box and a habit of shooting from distance and the temptation was to suggest that Gravenberch may not be seen in the Europa League until spring soccer
He could be starting in the Premier League instead soccer

Mohamed Salah’s determination to play is such that he got a late outing anyway, capped with a glorious goal, hammered in off the underside of the bar to have Klopp clapping soccer
But it is often a moot point if Diogo Jota ranks in the strongest side; at times he does and at others he does not soccer
A fourth goal in six games was both a spectacular solo run and yet too easy soccer
Jota ran through the heart of the Toulouse team, beating two defenders with a sharp turn, nutmegging a third and slotting a shot past Restes soccer
There is no doubt, though, that Wataru Endo belongs in the ranks of the understudies soccer
The Japanese has made a solitary league start, at Newcastle almost two months ago; in the glee of victory, Klopp admitted Endo did not have, in his words, “a clue” what they were doing and if he may have been referring to the reshuffle after they were reduced to 10 men, the Japanese has been confined to the midweek team since then soccer
He had the reward of a first Liverpool goal, steering a header past a motionless Restes when he met Trent Alexander-Arnold’s chipped cross soccer
Liverpool could, and perhaps should, have scored more goals but their clean sheets are rarities soccer
They conceded one and their goalkeeper was fortunate it was not more soccer
Toulouse had levelled when Thijs Dallinga, the top scorer in the Coupe de France last season, latched on to Aron Donnum’s pass, sprinted clear from the half-way line and drilled a shot past Caoimhin Kelleher soccer
The goalkeeper was culpable, though, in a game of entertainment, some fashioned by excellence, a bit by ineptitude soccer
After Kelleher presented Toulouse with the ball and was in no position to save, Suazo seemed certain to score soccer
The Chilean left-back instead drilled the ball straight at Alexander-Arnold, who had retreated to the line to make a brilliant block soccer
But Suazo did not have Nunez’s fortune: there was no teammate following up to score soccer
And Liverpool’s superiority meant it was hard to frame it as the decisive moment: more goals were always on their agenda soccer
Toulouse have scarcely been a case of nominative determinism, showing a greater propensity to draw thus far this season, and this was their first defeat of the campaign in Europe soccer
But another loss in the rematch in two weeks’ time would mean Liverpool win the group with two games to go soccer
