They're still human': Freeman vows England will take fight to Boks

After four straight defeats and six in seven against tier-one opposition, England face the daunting task of welcoming the back-to-back world champions to Twickenham. England's last-gasp defeat by Australia saw Borthwick's side slip to seventh in the world rankings while the Springboks returned to the summit after their 32-15 win over Scotland.

Borthwick is under increasing pressure after beginning the autumn campaign with two home defeats and Freeman has conceded that England will go into their first encounter with South Africa since last year's World Cup semi-final exit as underdogs.
