Eddie Jones said sorry to England fans after his side were beaten up and booed off Twickenham.
A week after dodging a bullet against New Zealand, they were obliterated by South Africa, slumping to a seventh loss in 2022.
It completed the nation’s worst set of results in a calendar year since 2008 and left Jones admitting: “We didn’t play well and I apologise for that. I take full responsibility."
