 Robinson is not expecting an easy time against South Africa |
England captain Jason Robinson says South Africa's defeat by Ireland will make the Springboks even more dangerous opponents at Twickenham on Saturday. Ireland clinched only their second ever win against the Boks with a 17-12 win at Lansdowne Road.
"It was obviously a good result for Ireland," Robinson told BBC Sport.
"It means that South Africa are going to be extra keen to come out and put in a big performance (against England) after that defeat."
The loss means South Africa's dreams of a Grand Slam against all four home nations have been dashed after just two matches.
But Robinson says England are still expecting a very hard encounter on 20 November. "We know it's going to be tough but the boys are ready for it," said Robinson.
