TOMMY FREEMAN is aiming to bury his Twickenham nightmare by getting one over the mighty world champion Springboks this weekend.
Two years ago, the Northampton wing won his third cap, and his first at HQ, against the South Africans on a disastrous day for him and England.
The Boks won 27-13 and boss Eddie Jones hooked Freeman at half-time with all his relatives in the stands.
Freeman had been a success story on that summer's victorious tour to Australia but it all turned into a horror show for him and the former England chief that day.
Jones was handed his cards by the RFU shortly afterwards and Freeman, then just 21, did not force his way back into the Test side for over a year and it still rankles.
