Springboks vs England rugby: Live stream, kick-off time, TV channel, and team news for third Test 2018

ENGLAND are desperate to prevent a sixth straight defeat in the third and final Test at Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday.
In the first Test Eddie Jones' side spectacularly threw away a 21-point lead in Johannesburg to lose 42-39 to the Springboks.
And they followed that disappointment with a 23-12 upset in Bloemfontein last weekend.
Jones, under fire at the end of the Six Nations, has been unable to reverse a losing trend on England's summer tour.
At Newlands Danny Cipriani will make his first start for England since 2008, replacing George Ford at fly half, while Chris Robshaw replaces Brad Shields at blindside flank due to illness.
Jones said: “We’ve had a really upbeat training week. We are up for the battle and are going to rip in on Saturday.
"We want another committed performance where it will be crucial to maintain our composure when the heat is on.
“We are expecting a wet and windy old day at Newlands and have elected to play Danny Cipriani ahead of George Ford to give us a left-foot kicking option.
"We will need to jump out of the blocks quickly again and make sure we maintain that pressure and make good decisions.
“I’ve been really impressed with the fortitude of the squad under Owen Farrell, who is a young captain, and with a number of young players who have really stuck to the task."
