Once again Englan lost but a good match and again close. Onwards and upwards.

England beaten by South Africa in the Autumn Nations Series

England were defeated by South Africa 20 - 29 at Allianz Stadium in their third match of the Autumn Nations series.

Steve Borthwick’s side struck through tries from Ollie Sleightholme and Sam Underhill and 10 points from the boot of Marcus Smith.

However, tries from Grant Williams, Pieter-Steph du Toit and a brace from Cheslin Kolbe as well as nine points via the boots of Mannie Libbok and Handre Pollard sealed victory.

England opened the scoring after just three minutes. Smith looked to be going for a drop goal before he darted to the blindside. He popped to Slade, who fed Sleightholme for the first try of the match. Smith converted to give England a 7 – 0 lead.

South Africa responded through their scrumhalf Williams. He ran in from beyond the 22 and stepped defenders to score under the posts. Libbok converted to tie the scores after 12 minutes.

England continued to play quickly before being awarded a penalty for Pieter-Steph du Toit handling in the ruck. Smith’s kick was good, and the hosts had the lead once more.
