Springbok flanker Rassie Erasmus would rather face England than New Zealand in the World Cup quarter-finals.

Either side will present a huge hurdle but Erasmus has a preference. "It would be easier to play England in Paris where the weather will be warmer and drier than it would at Twickenham or Murrayfield," said Erasmus.

South Africa's six-try to two win included a fourth Test try for wing Deon Kayser, singled out for praise by coach Nick Mallett.

Kayser - from Uitenhage's coloured township - only broke into the Test side this year.

"I was pretty tense at first. My community expects me to do well and I think there is extra pressure on me."
