England coach Eddie Jones roped in Suntory Sungoliath scrumhalf Genki Okoshi to help with training ahead of their World Cup final clash against South Africa on Saturday.
As they prepare to face Springbok No.9 Faf de Klerk and his kicking game, Okoshi mimicked the South African in a blonde wig.
Okoshi was given a ticket for the World Cup final and presented by a shirt signed by all the team.

Jones, meanwhile, believes their preparation for the clash couldn’t have been better, saying: “It has been a good week, the players have been together a while now so it’s less about the volume of training, it’s more about sharpening the sword.
“We know the physical part of the game is going to be important and the players will go into this game well prepared knowing how we want to play. We will go and play with no fear.
“South Africa will probably play a similar type of game they have played all tournament so we need be good in the arm wrestle and when we have the opportunities to break the game up, we are then confident and composed enough to take them.”

The match is Jones’s 50th in charge and his win percentage of 80 percent is the best of any England coach.
England are seeking their second title following their 2003 victory while South Africa are looking for their third, the last coming in 2007 when they beat England in the final.
