England vs South Africa live stream and how to watch the 2024 Autumn Nations Series rugby online today, Kolisi, Kolbe and du Toit start

England's Rugby World Cup nemeses are in town for the third weekend of the 2024 Autumn Nations Series, ready to heap more pain and pressure on the hosts following a run of four narrow losses. Kick off is scheduled for 5.40pm GMT. Fans can watch the Autumn Nations Series live streams from anywhere with a VPN. Here's how to catch the England vs South Africa live streams from wherever you are in the world.

England fans' heartache stretches back to 2019, when Rassie Erasmus' Springboks won a one-sided World Cup final in Japan. Four years on the South Africans claimed victory from the jaws of defeat to knock England out at the semi-final stage in France.

South Africa went on to win the 2023 final and the double world champions have since claimed a dominant Rugby Championship this year.

In a show of strength, the Springboks have made 12 changes from the side that convincingly beat Scotland at Murrayfield. Most notably, Manie Libbok takes over from Handre Pollard at fly-half, while last weekend's double try scorer Makazole Mapimpi is rested completely.

To make a formidable task even more daunting, the visitors welcome back captain Siya Kolisi, former world player of the year Pieter-Steph du Toit and lethal winger Cheslin Kolbe. 

England, meanwhile, have been forced into four changes from the side beaten at the death by Australia.

Tom Curry and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso sit out the clash with head knocks; while in comes scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet, full-back Freddie Steward, flanker Sam Underhill and winger Ollie Sleightholme, who bagged a brace of tries last weekend.

Every Autumn Series match including England vs South Africa is live on TNT Sports in the UK and can be streamed via Discovery Plus. If watching Down Under you can catch the match live on Stan Sport. And rugby fans following from the US can tune into all the action on Peacock TV.
