England Rugby Team Falls to South Africa 29-20

England suffered their fifth consecutive defeat, falling 29-20 to South Africa at Twickenham. Despite a strong start and tries from Ollie Sleightholme and Sam Underhill, England faltered in the final quarter, surrendering a lead as Cheslin Kolbe scored two tries for the Springboks. The match highlighted England's ongoing struggles with discipline and individual errors, as they failed to capitalize on territory and possession, especially against a South African side that played with 14 men for the last 10 minutes. England's coach Steve Borthwick faces increasing pressure with the team now having lost six of their last seven tests. The defeat, which follows losses to New Zealand and Australia, leaves England seeking redemption in their upcoming match against Japan to avoid an autumn whitewash. Captain Jamie George acknowledged the fine margins that have defined the team's recent performances, emphasizing the need for improvement in critical moments.
