England 13-27 South Africa

A DIRE England were outclassed and physically dominated by South Africa as they lost at home to the world champions.

The Springboks outmuscled the home side and when they attacked were fleet of thought and feet in stark contrast to the men in white.

The visitors’ first try was a blur as full-back Willie Le Roux claimed the ball kicked at him, dodged the English chase and then set loose Kurt-Lee Arendse, who sped through flailing English defenders for the opening try in the 30th minute.
