England vs South Africa - LIVE!
England ended a frustrating 2022 on a real low note as they were dominated by the Springboks on home soil. Eddie Jones’ side were thoroughly second-best for the second straight week in their Autumn Nations Series finale, but this time there was no last-gasp comeback to spare their blushes and paper over the cracks.
South Africa got a brilliant try from the record-equalling Kurt-Lee Arendse and another from close range from Eben Etzebeth, bullying England all over the park - particularly at scrum time - and getting 11 points from the boot of Faf de Klerk as well as two opportunistic drop goals from Damian Willemse.
Henry Slade’s late score gave the hosts flickers of hope of another fightback following a red card for replacement Boks prop Thomas du Toit, but they never threatened another famous rally as they finished the calendar year with more losses than wins as the 2023 World Cup looms large on the horizon.
