Played two, lost two.
A dry start to autumn has become England’s wet winter of discontent after going down 31-28 to South Africa.
Stuart Lancaster’s side failed to end an eight-year losing streak against the Springboks, going down to an experienced outfit who raced into a 20-6 lead.
England roared back with two driven tries as the Boks lost Victor Matfield to the bin, but the nous of the visitors came to the fore as they wrested back the initiative and quelled the English fire.
South Africa have redeemed themselves for last week’s defeat to Ireland, while England are left with more questions than answers as they go into a clash with Samoa next week.
Here are the winners and losers.
