England concluded their autumn series with another painful defeat as South Africa registered their first victory at Twickenham since 1997.

England made an impressive start with a controversial try from Mark Cueto and the boot of Andy Goode putting them in a commanding position.

But the injustice of Cueto’s score – he clearly dropped the ball over the line - stung South Africa into action with prop CJ van der Linde crashing over.

The Springboks, who had left all the senior players at home, then controlled the second half with Pretorius hitting three drop goals to complete the victory.
