England player ratings vs South Africa as Eddie Jones’ men concluded their Autumn Nations Series campaign with yet another defeat.
Springbok speedster Kurt-Lee Arendse raced in for a long-range score that helped his side to a healthy lead after a cagey first half.
The visitors turned the screw with Eben Etzebeth ploughing over to make it 24-6 after 51 minutes.
Replacement prop Thomas du Toit’s red card for a high shot on Luke Cowan-Dickie briefly offered England hope.
However, replacement Henry Slade’s try was all Eddie Jones’ men could muster against the 14 men as the end their Autumn Nations Series campaign with just one win from four.
