England coach Stuart Lancaster is hoping to end the international season in style with a win over South Africa later today.
The Six Nations runners-up play the final game of their summer tour against the Springboks at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium and, although they have already lost the series following defeats in Durban and Johannesburg, Lancaster insists that there is still much to play for.
"It has been a long journey for a lot of these players, from before the World Cup," said Lancaster. "The World Cup came and went, then the coaching team changed, we went through the Six Nations and then this tour. It has been a long, long journey and we want to end it with a win.
"I don't agree with the concept of a 'dead rubber'. To me, there is no such thing as a dead rubber in the international game."
South Africa are ranked third in the world - two places above England.
