The Boks are more powerful, better organised, make fewer mistakes, and have genuine X-factor in their back three. Not one England player would get close to the SA matchday squad.

HT: South Africa 17-14 England
Having led 24-3 after 20 minutes in 2018, England conceded five tries either side of half-time as they lost 42-39 against South Africa at Ellis Park, 1,800m above sea level.
The England bench, which includes Henry Pollock, will play a big role.
HT: South Africa 17-14 England
Kurt-Lee Arendse's try put South Africa 17-0 up on 11 minutes.
It looked like it could be a hammering.
England have fought back and remain well in this one.
Will the altitude play a factor?

Perfect play at the perfect time. That's what England have been missing, that brute force. Martin went straight over the top of Kolbe.
We were fearing the worst after the opening 15 minutes but England have got their composure back and Fin Smith has had the chance to start pulling the strings.

What a finish! The big man takes Boks with him into the corner and England are back in it!
England were 17-0 down after three early tries. What a response.

Absolutely vital England got a score in the sin-bin period.
Ellis Genge will have enjoyed that because he bumped off Thomas du Toit to score and he'll likely let him know that in the next scrum.
South Africa 17-7 England
Grant Williams is next to drop an attempted intercept. He should have caught it, it goes right through both hands.
South Africa 17-7 England
Marcus Smith does well to tidy up a dropped ball. England win a penalty and clear.
They will take this first half.
Ellis Genge (con Fin Smith)
Finally. Ellis Genge taps and bulldozes his way over. All Genge power.
South Africa 17-0 England
Cadan Murley puts the hammer down to go deep into South Africa's 22.
South Africa 17-0 England
South Africa slow things down and clear. Nearly half of the yellow card gone.

Evidently, England's record at Ellis Park will continue. This could be an annihilation job by South Africa. Not even close.

I honestly believe if we don't compete well in this series then time might be up for Borthwick. Come on England.

South Africa 17-0 England
Cheslin Kolbe leaves the ball and Ollie Chessum nicks in to dot down. His foot is out, though.
What was Kolbe doing?
South Africa 17-0 England
HUGE 10 minutes for England. They have done well to compete after the early madness.
South Africa 17-0 England
Kurt-Lee Arendse is given a yellow card for knocking on with England on the attack.

The South Africa defensive blitz is fast and furious, and accurate.
They are very disciplined with it too, no-one is taking any chances.
