BLOEMFONTEIN (Reuters) - South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus is expecting England counterpart Eddie Jones to have "a few plans up his sleeve" for Saturday's second test in Bloemfontein but has backed his side to adapt to whatever the tourists throw at them.

The Springboks were stunned by England's running game in the opening quarter of the first test, where they slipped to a 24-3 deficit before adapting their own plans and roared back to claim a thrilling 42-39 victory at Ellis Park.
