SPRINGBOKS THE SCOURGE OF ENGLAND ONCE AGAIN
England suffered their fifth straight defeat after going down 29-20 against South Africa at the Allianz Stadium.
Cheslin Kolbe crossed twice, while Grant Williams and Pieter-Steph du Toit also went over as the Springboks made it two wins from two in the Autumn Nations series.
England opened in a purposeful manner and struck first with Marcus Smith’s powerful burst and offload allowing Ollie Sleightholme to mark his maiden international start by crossing.
South Africa quickly responded with Williams darting through the gap in the English defence, while Du Toit charged down Smith’s attempted clearance to put his side ahead for the first time.
The Springboks stretched their lead when Manie Libbok’s cross-field kick found Kolbe, who cleverly stepped inside Freddie Steward’s challenge before crossing, though Sam Underhill went over at the other end as England reduced the deficit to 19-17.
Both sides had tries ruled out in the second half following TMO reviews, before Smith kicked the hosts ahead. However, South Africa quickly regained their advantage.
Handre Pollard’s long-range kick put them back in front, and Kolbe’s second try of the game eventually proved decisive, with the visitors’ stubborn defence subsequently keeping England at bay and securing the win.

FIVE STRAIGHT DEFEATS?
It certainly looks that way for England, who just cannot find a way through this stubborn South Africa defence.
Time is running out and the Springboks are nearly there.

FRUSTRATION FOR ENGLAND
Superb defending from South Africa again as Kriel stops Lawrence in his tracks, before the referee blows for hands in the ruck.

LET-OFF
England push from the maul. However, their momentum halts when Cowan-Dickie is penalised for a dummy throw.
South Africa can breathe again for a moment.

YELLOW CARD
South Africa are down to 14 men temporarily as Steenekamp is sent to the bin.
Can England capitalise on their numerical advantage?

JUST OVER 10 MINUTES LEFT
There is time for England, as they pump the ball into South Africa's 22.
The hosts still require two scores, and will not want to waste any time in their quest to achieve them.

TRY! ENGLAND 20-29 SOUTH AFRICA (KOLBE)
Another superb try by the Springboks!
De Allende deserves credit after barging through two England defenders before offloading to Kolbe, who darts for the line and crosses for the second time.
The angle is tight, but Pollard converts without many difficulties.

NO TRY

NO TRY
It would have been some try!
From the advantage, De Allende and Fassi combine to find Arendse, who darts almost half the length of the pitch before touching down in the corner.
