Jonny Bairstow is relishing his role in a rare World Cup double as England and South Africa prepare for high-stakes battles on the cricket pitch and the rugby field within a matter of hours on Saturday 1xbet
Bairstow will be leading from the front in Mumbai, where his side look to put their creaking title defence back on track against the Proteas, before attention turns to events almost 4,500 miles away in Paris and the Rugby World Cup semi-final 1xbet between England and the Springboks 1xbet
Bairstow is a huge rugby fan and was even invited to address the England squad ahead of last year’s autumn international against Argentina at Twickenham, chatting to the squad for over an hour before observing training 1xbet
Now he hopes to set the tone for a day of English celebrations by the time Steve Borthwick’s men kick off 1xbet
You'll have people in South Africa, I'm sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais, and you'll have a few in England popping down the pub 1xbet
It's going to be a great spectacle 1xbet
“I think it’s going to be a great spectacle, it’s going to be a great day for both nations,” he said 1xbet
“They’re two extremely proud nations, whether that’s on the rugby front or the cricketing front, two teams on both sides that are very passionate about playing for their countries and are excited about playing for their countries 1xbet
“You’ll have people in South Africa, I’m sure, having a few brandy and Cokes and a couple of braais (barbecues), and you’ll have a few in England popping down the pub and watching – any excuse for them to just pop down there!“It will be great – and hopefully both results go our way 1xbet
”Bairstow can only directly impact one of them, of course, and the importance of his role at the top of the batting order is shaping up to be a key one 1xbet
Defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, either side of victory over Bangladesh, have put England firmly on the back foot and cranked up the stakes on their visit to the Wankhede Stadium 1xbet
Head coach Matthew Mott has called for more aggression in the first 15 overs of both innings and Bairstow has the track record and firepower to oblige 1xbet
But he is clear that swinging blindly for the fences is not on the cards, with conditions in India calling for more nuance 1xbet
“I don’t see anyone else in the world going out and scoring at nine runs an over 1xbet
You look at India, they don’t go out and just go balls to the wall in the first 10 and they’re the host nation,” he said 1xbet
“They don’t just go out and go from ball one 1xbet
So the importance of the first 10 is to yes score quickly, but also score in a way that’s sustainable over a long period of time, because we’re not playing a T20 game, we’re playing a 50-over game 1xbet
“Playing cricket in India compared to playing cricket in England is different 1xbet
There’s different styles that work all around the world 1xbet
I don’t think there’s one thing that fits all 1xbet
”While England are licking their wounds after being upset by the Afghans, South Africa are nursing a similar blow to their pride after defeat the Netherlands 1xbet
That has added another layer of intrigue to the clash as both sets of players desperately try to reset the narrative 1xbet
Lost to New Zealand by nine wicket, AhmedabadBeat Bangladesh by 137 runs, DharamshalaLost to Afghanistan by 69 runs, Delhi“We know it’s a big game, we know they’re a strong nation and they’ve been playing well, but we also know now they’re coming off a loss as well,” Bairstow said 1xbet
“That was a great result to wake up to 1xbet
But we’re actually just focusing on ourselves 1xbet
That’s what we do 1xbet
“The confidence is there – it’s unwavering 1xbet
There’s no lack of belief within this group 1xbet
It isn’t something that’s been questioned one bit 1xbet

South Africa players and coaches have defended Bongi Mbonambi as a “great guy” and a “family man” amid the Springboks hooker being investigated for an alleged racial slur during the Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England 1xbet
England flanker Tom Curry has alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victoryAfter 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck 1xbet
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe 1xbet
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment 1xbet
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast 1xbet
World Rugby has since confirmed it is investigating the incident and will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the process 1xbet
On Monday afternoon, in the first Springboks media activity since the allegations became public, scrum coach Daan Human and lock Jean Kelyn defended Mbonambi’s character, while refusing to comment on the specific incident 1xbet
“It’s being dealt with by World Rugby and South Africa Rugby, so from my side, I can’t comment,” began Human when first asked about the incident 1xbet
“I’m focussing on the scrums 1xbet
We had a good, positive training session, and nothing else came out 1xbet
I can’t really comment on that 1xbet
”Bongi Mbonambi is being investigated for an alleged racial slur (Getty Images)However, when pushed on what Mbonambi is like as a person around the squad, Human was effusive in his praise of the front row 1xbet
“Bongi has been part of this group for the last six years,” added Human 1xbet
“He’s a very important piece of the puzzle for us 1xbet
He was starting in the last World Cup and our semi-final, so he’s very important to us, like all other players 1xbet
“He’s one of our leaders in our group 1xbet
He’s a great guy, a family man, my kids always look after his kids when they come to the hotel 1xbet
He’s a humble guy, down to earth, like all players who play for the Springboks 1xbet
“To be straightforward and honest with you, he’s a very calm guy, a well-spoken guy 1xbet
I don’t want to go into it because we’ve got a World Cup final in six days’ time 1xbet
I’m more concentrated on the forwards 1xbet
”Mbonambi is the only specialist hooker in the Springboks squad after the injured Malcolm Marx was replaced by fly half Handre Pollard earlier in the tournament 1xbet
Bongi Mbonambi played all 80 minutes of the Springboks’ semi-final win (PA)He played all 80 minutes of the semi-final, and finished the game as captain once Siya Kolisi was substituted, although veteran back row Deon Fourie played hooker earlier in his career and flanker Marco van Staden has also filled in at the position in the past 1xbet
So Human was unconcerned about South Africa being short-handed in the event of Mbonambi being found guilty and banned for the final 1xbet
“We’ve got three guys capable of playing hooker in the group,” he said 1xbet
“We’re very comfortable having three hookers 1xbet
We’re glad we have three hookers, which we’re supposed to have because going into a final you need to have two hookers in the squad 1xbet
”Lock Jean Kleyn was also asked about his relationship with Mbonambi, having played alongside him at club and international level, and was similarly glowing in his praise of the hooker 1xbet
“Bongi is a great guy,” stated Kleyn 1xbet
“I’ve known him since we were playing at the Stormers together I think nine years ago 1xbet
He’s a fantastic guy, a good individual 1xbet
“I’m not going to comment on that or justify it [the allegations] 1xbet
All I’ll say is he’s a fantastic bloke 1xbet
He’s a great guy, a passionate guy, a family man 1xbet
He’s captained the Springboks a couple of times and he’s an upstanding guy, I don’t think there’s a fellow in the squad who doesn’t like him 1xbet
