South Africa coach Jake White believes England will have two big advantages in the World Cup final, with experience in that instance and opening the presence of Jonny Wilkinson, although the Springboks can dream because "their best rugby yet to come."
"What we are doing is great, because not many gave us options to leave South Africa. There are many positive things out of the match against Argentina: our solid defense, recovery of the ball, "said the coach, noting the two keys match.
" And for this group of players who never played in a semifinal, and was eliminated in the quarterfinals in 2003, the positive is convincingly winning the semi-final without playing our best rugby. It is a 'plus' huge psychological view to the final, "he added.
South Africans now vie for the title to the English, which clearly defeated 36 to 0 last month in the group stage. But to White, that was not " real England ", and also its greatest exponent, Jonny Wilkinson, is to show their best performance in the victory by 14 to 9 against France in the semifinals.
" I told the players after the victory, was not real England. Wilkinson now have reinstalled it and it makes a difference. They have shown they are a completely different team with him, "coach analyzed.
However, despite the landslide victory in this clash, White gives his rival as a favorite.
" No attempt to disguise of 'outsiders '. But many people thought that England would cost to reach the quarterfinals and is in the final, "he said.
"I repeat: for me, if you have a favorite, should be England, because they have been here have done the work, have won a World Cup final abroad with this group of players. They have a dozen men won in 2003, they know. It is a huge bonus, "added White.
