The England fly-half was injured for the Pool A clash at the Stade de France four weeks ago and the Springboks took full advantage to register a record victory.

Speaking after South Africa booked their place in the final with a 37-13 victory over Argentina, White said: "Whatever happened in this tournament in the past is irrelevant. You just have to look at the impact of the number 10 at this World Cup, and there is no doubt England will be a completely different team with Jonny Wilkinson at 10."

South Africa have an impressive recent record against England, winning the last four encounters dating back to the autumn internationals at Twickenham last November.

But White believes England will benefit from the experience the likes of Wilkinson and captain Phil Vickery gained from winning the World Cup four years ago.

"We have won the last four games against England but World Cup finals are different," he added.

"England have a lot of players who have played in a World Cup final. That experience is a massive advantage."
