England Rugby Faces South Africa at Twickenham

England faced South Africa at Twickenham in a crucial match as they aimed to end a disappointing run of four consecutive losses. Despite leading twice, England ultimately succumbed to the Springboks, losing 24-22, with Cheslin Kolbe scoring two tries for South Africa. Head coach Steve Borthwick had made several changes to the lineup, including the return of key players, but England struggled against a powerful Springbok side. The match was a defining moment for Borthwick's team, which risks dropping to their lowest world ranking in history. Meanwhile, there was controversy surrounding a new World Rugby law that Borthwick criticized, while player Freddie Steward welcomed the change, highlighting a divide within the squad. As the match aired live on TNT Sports, it underscored not only the sporting stakes but also the broader uncertainty facing rugby union amidst potential financial crises.
