TWICKENHAM (UNITED KINGDOM) - Danny Cipriani's three years in the England wilderness came to an end when he was recalled by coach Eddie Jones on Thursday for next month's tour of South Africa. England head to South Africa following a miserable end to the Six Nations when they lost successive matches to Scotland, France and Grand Slam champions Ireland. England have yet to win a series in South Africa, with their Test last victory against the Springboks on South African soil coming in Bloemfontein in 2000. "Our tour to South Africa will be the most exciting challenge for us as a group since 2016," said Jones. - 'Combative Boks' -Although South Africa are traditionally one of rugby union's strongest nations, the Springboks suffered a woeful couple of seasons under former coach Allister Coetzee.
