Rugby Union England 28-31 South Africa: BREAKING NEWS

- Updated: 15 Nov 2014
England fell to their fifth consecutive defeat as South Africa profited from another disappointing display.
Trailing by 14 points early in the second half, England responded with back-to-back tries from driving mauls for David Wilson and Ben Morgan.
But a burrowing try from Schalk Burger and 13 points from the boot of fly-half Pat Lambie made it 12 matches in a row since England last beat the Springboks.
Despite their stirring fightback, England only seldom exerted any control, errors from half-back pairing Danny Care and Owen Farrell costing them at pivotal moments.
With just 10 matches to go until the World Cup, England's development as a team appears to have stalled, with the first serious questions being asked of the Stuart Lancaster regime.
Lambie opened the scoring with a straightforward penalty after Farrell's ill-judged decision to run from deep put his side in trouble, and a more serious error then gifted the visitors a more significant score.
Care, winning his 50th cap, threw a slow, telegraphed pass after a stodgy series of attempted drives and centre Jan Serfontein intercepted to race away and under the posts from 60 metres.
Lambie's conversion made it 10-0, and England were struggling - slow in thought, obvious in execution, Twickenham muted.
Dave Attwood cantered down the right but went alone with Anthony Watson free outside him, and Farrell then seemed caught in three minds as another period of pressure and territory was wasted.
Farrell and Lambie exchanged penalties on the half-hour, and although Farrell narrowed the deficit to 13-6, South Africa struck what appeared to be a critical blow immediately after the interval.
Lambie's clever kick over the rush defence was gathered by Willie le Roux, and the full-back drew the covering tackles of Mike Brown and Billy Vunipola before offloading beautifully for scrum-half Cobus Reinach to slide over.
Fourteen points down, England needed a quick response - and when Victor Matfield was sin-binned for bringing down a maul five metres out, the opportunity came.
England drove again off the line-out, the forwards smuggled the ball through cold hands and Wilson plopped under the posts before Farrell added a simple conversion.
It was only the start. From 45m out they set up another thundering driving maul, Springboks flying backwards, and replacement Morgan twisted and turned to barrel over for a second try in five minutes.
