England prop Ellis Genge admits last year's Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat by South Africa is something he will carry for the rest of his career.
Despite having a nine-point lead deep into the second half, coach Steve Borthwick's side were defeated by a single point after a late penalty from fly-half Handre Pollard.
Genge, 29, replaced Joe Marler in the second half as England conceded a number of second-half scrum penalties, with Pollard landing the winning kick following another infringement from England's pack.
"I'm not going to pretend that you completely forget about it. It is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my career at least," Genge told BBC Sport.
"It's another game, another week at least but you obviously carry a bit of animosity from previous encounters."
The aftermath of that defeat in France was dominated by England flanker Tom Curry's accusation that South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi had used a racial slur towards him during the match.
Mbonambi denied the accusation, saying he had used an Afrikaans phrase that had been misconstrued, and World Rugby decided there was insufficient evidence to charge him.
Back-to-back world champions South Africa now head to Twickenham on Saturday for their first meeting since that World Cup encounter.
Vice-captain Genge is likely to be in the starting XV and concedes the scrums "are not going to be easy".
