Steward to remain true to core strengths against South Africa
England's Freddie Steward during the Six Nations match at Twickenham Stadium, London, February 10, 2024

FREDDIE STEWARD insists his game has evolved during his England exile but will remain true to his core strengths when South Africa visit Twickenham on Saturday.

Steward has been restored at full-back to reinforce England’s aerial game following the introduction of a new law directive intended to create more contestable kicks.

South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus on Thursday described his ability in the air as “devastating,” while Steve Borthwick views it as his “super strength.”
