Noon hoping for night to remember

19 January 2007
Noon will be watching from the stands at the Stade de France on Saturday night after suffering a medial ligament injury when South Africa crushed England 36-0 a month ago.
"South Africa haven't changed much during the course of the tournament, whereas England have got better as it's gone along and really found a formula that works," he said. "There are definitely threats and dangers to contend with, but I firmly believe England have what it takes to produce a massive performance and do the business."
He added: "They will obviously be wary that South Africa won the first game so convincingly. But a lot has happened since then, and we have really changed as a team.
"For the third or fourth time running, we are the underdogs - so there's nothing to lose. Wear your heart on your sleeve and get stuck in."
