England defence coach Kevin Sinfield said on Tuesday they are aware of South Africa's potential tactical surprises before this weekend's Rugby World Cup semi-final in Paris.
During last weekend's quarter-final win over France, Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber and his director of rugby Rassie Erasmus made a few maverick decisions.
This weekend's winners will face New Zealand, who beat Six Nations champions Ireland in the last eight, or Argentina in the final on October 28. "We understand this team are very, very smart, they are coached particularly well and they are right across the laws, they understand all the intricacies and we've got to be ready for whatever comes on Saturday evening."
