Robinson is ready for his second game in charge of England

England cruised to a 70-0 victory over Canada last weekend but Robinson knows that this game will be different.

"It's going to get heated out there, it won't be a place for the faint-hearted," said Robinson.

"Their pack are pretty streetwise and look after each other and we have to really step up in our physicality."

South Africa are a different team from the one that were overwhelmed in the now infamous contest at Twickenham two years ago.

The game, which England won 53-3, was marred by a series of off-the-ball incidents as well as the dismissal of Jannes Labuschagne, but under the guidance of new coach Jake White, the Springboks have improved their discipline.

"Jake White has got the confidence back in the team. He's brought a bit of flair and belief back," said Robinson.

"They are a dangerous side but we know we have in our armoury everything to beat them."

The Springboks will be fired up for the match in the wake of their 17-12 defeat in Ireland on Saturday.

They will also be looking to end a run of five straight losses against England.

England's defensive coach Phil Larder said: "I anticipate an exceptionally aggressive game but preparing to play South Africa, who are undoubtedly the most aggressive team we play, is more of a mental thing.

"They do tend to come route one at you. They don't compare with Australia or New Zealand as passers but they are big, aggressive, love contact, keep the legs pumping and also have quite a lot of evasion.

"They provide a unique and very special test. We have to match them in physicality and we've won the last five because we've been able to do that."

England have made only one change to the side that defeated Canada with flanker Joe Worsley coming in for Andy Hazell.
