“We’re following the rugby as much as everyone else, to be honest,” said top-order batter Markram, who stood in as captain against England at the weekend. “I suppose a lot of the hype is around them right now and rightly so. They’re doing some special things once again as a team. “It inspires us. We try to take motivation and inspiration from them. And certainly, their performance to get into another final provided us with an extra bit of oomph as well going into tomorrow .”Latest: World Rugby reviewing allegations against Mbonambi
