England suffered their fifth consecutive defeat in the Autumn Nations Series, falling 29-20 to South Africa at Twickenham. The match featured a dynamic first half with five tries exchanged, but South Africa's Cheslin Kolbe secured the victory with two crucial tries, including one in the second half that extended their lead. Despite a strong start from England, they were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities, particularly in the second half, where they failed to finish off several promising plays. Marcus Smith showcased his talent throughout the match, but defensive lapses ultimately contributed to England's defeat. The loss marks England's worst streak since 2018, raising concerns about the team's progress under coach Steve Borthwick as they prepare to face Japan in their final match of the autumn campaign. South Africa's win underscores their resilience, even with a reduced squad due to injuries.
