:00:10. > :00:16.Welcome to round three of England's autumn international series. This
:00:16. > :00:23.is the story so far. Week one, there they were blown away by a
:00:23. > :00:31.seven-try whirlwind. The Lancaster bombers landed heavy blows. Fiji,
:00:31. > :00:35.off the campus. England have developed a purple patch. The
:00:35. > :00:42.Wallabies tear off a strip. Time to ring the changes. One thing is for
:00:42. > :00:52.sure, things weren't good easier for England. -- won't get easier
:00:52. > :00:52.
:00:52. > :01:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:01:40. > :01:44.for England. Week three, South Hello and welcome to Twickenham for
:01:44. > :01:49.the visit of the mighty Springboks. England drew with South Africa in
:01:49. > :01:53.the final Test in Port Elizabeth in June and now they have to go one
:01:53. > :02:00.better as they go toe-to-toe with the or after last week's
:02:00. > :02:03.disappointment against Australia. No, it didn't turn out as expected.
:02:04. > :02:08.The Cook Cup is Australia's once again and England comeback down to
:02:08. > :02:13.Earth. Luckily with the or there, you know what's coming. They are
:02:13. > :02:17.very hard and direct and a very creative side. Dealing with that
:02:17. > :02:21.challenge is another matter but we have to. We've always had in mind
:02:21. > :02:28.that this series we were going to look a different combinations. Win
:02:28. > :02:33.or lose. It's such a competitive area, the back row. We lost to Joe
:02:33. > :02:38.with injury. He has trained hard and fitted into everything.
:02:38. > :02:43.Hopefully we can help him out in the right areas. Tom had a
:02:43. > :02:50.fantastic game for us last week. Top carrying and tackling but we
:02:50. > :02:55.thought it was necessary to look at Ben. You never want to lose at
:02:55. > :03:02.Twickenham, at home, where it has so much passion. Hopefully we can
:03:02. > :03:08.deliver. This is our next big challenge. The Test series, the
:03:08. > :03:13.last game, I felt we should have won. So, another huge test for
:03:13. > :03:17.England. Alongside me, a man who made his debut against the
:03:17. > :03:21.Springboks in November 1995, Lawrence Dallaglio. I am struggling
:03:21. > :03:25.with a man of the roof so you have to do the talking. What did you
:03:25. > :03:32.make of the changes? The quite a few changes, some of them through
:03:32. > :03:35.injury. Some people have earned the right. Joe Launchbury has made a
:03:35. > :03:43.few cameo opportunities off the bench so I'm looking forward to
:03:43. > :03:48.seeing him up. Obviously, the scrum half, Danny Care, Ben Youngs get a
:03:48. > :03:53.chance again, so hopefully we'll settle down with Toby Flood. Behalf
:03:53. > :03:56.backs will be key. Mike Brown comes in at full-back. Given the weather
:03:56. > :04:02.conditions, and the amount to kicking which will take place in
:04:02. > :04:08.the game, and inspired selection from Stuart Lancaster. A few
:04:08. > :04:12.moments ago, he was practising his kicks for that are expecting an
:04:12. > :04:17.aerial attack? We know there by the South Africans will play, obviously
:04:17. > :04:21.very physical confrontation. A structured game. I don't think
:04:22. > :04:25.anything I have seen suggests they will play any differently in these
:04:25. > :04:30.conditions. From England's point of view, it's about taking
:04:30. > :04:37.responsibility, particularly in the back row where Ben Morgan and Chris
:04:37. > :04:41.Robshaw have got to lead by example. Tom Wood will be closer to the
:04:41. > :04:45.breakdown. Playing against a very good South African back row so it
:04:45. > :04:50.will be a game for the forwards today. A lack of composure at the
:04:50. > :04:54.right moment last week against the Wallabies. Do you think there will
:04:54. > :04:59.be a change of policy? Chris Robshaw criticised for not going up
:04:59. > :05:05.for his opportunities. England got carried away last week. They got
:05:05. > :05:09.carried away with the Twickenham crowd and perhaps, in hindsight, I
:05:09. > :05:14.know doubt that they would have taken the points had they had
:05:14. > :05:17.another chance. Taking three points will be crucial today. The last
:05:17. > :05:21.time I saw England score from a rolling maul was at least three
:05:21. > :05:25.years ago. This game will be close. Either team could win it and
:05:25. > :05:30.England want to be on the right side of the victory to date. They
:05:30. > :05:34.have given themselves and mountain to climb up with the rankings.
:05:34. > :05:36.the All Blacks is in the future, Wales have got that to worry about
:05:36. > :05:40.Wales have got that to worry about this week. The important thing is
:05:40. > :05:44.England get the victory. South Africa have won the last seven
:05:44. > :05:48.games against England, the last one was a draw. It's about time England
:05:48. > :05:58.have turned the tide. From what I have seen, it a great opportunity
:05:58. > :06:00.
:06:00. > :06:06.into prop but Northern hemisphere conditions, cold, grey, very wet,
:06:06. > :06:16.but a nice touch on the RFU today. Each of mass quarter plays its

:06:36. > :06:40.his team are since last week's start. Ben Youngs a place in
:06:40. > :06:44.England shirt alongside his brother, Tom. It's the same South African
:06:45. > :06:50.team which beat Scotland at Murrayfield last weekend. Eben
:06:50. > :06:57.Etzebeth has been cleared of an eye gouging offence in that game.
:06:57. > :07:02.Gurthro Steenkamp and JP Pietersen have overcome it knocks to start.

:11:40. > :11:46.out of trouble and has dropped it and knocked it on it. The advantage
:11:46. > :11:52.goes South Africa's way. They sniff an opportunity on the right-hand
:11:52. > :11:56.side. Zane Kirchner picks it up. Four England defenders third to
:11:56. > :12:03.stop him. South Africa recycle. Five yards short of the England
:12:03. > :12:08.line. Strauss tries to knock the England bodies out of the way. And
:12:08. > :12:12.the penalty goes England's way. Another unusual feature there.
:12:12. > :12:18.South Africa do not usually fail to get the ball back from the

:12:22. > :12:29.down on his knees at the moment close to the England goal line and
:12:29. > :12:36.seems to be struggling. So England are going to make the change. Toby

:25:43. > :25:47.penalties in that first half, he could have that England are 12
:25:47. > :25:55.points. South Africa made all of theirs, and that is why the half-
:25:55. > :25:59.time score reads England's six, As you would expect, very physical,
:25:59. > :26:03.great to see England taking the game to South Africa. The day have
:26:03. > :26:07.played the conditions very well, putting the ball up in the air,
:26:07. > :26:10.taking it on with the likes of Tom Wood and through the forwards. I
:26:10. > :26:15.think England will be disappointed that they are not at this level on
:26:15. > :26:18.the scoreboard. Stuart Lancaster has talked about getting this piece
:26:18. > :26:23.right, winning the breakdown, physicality, but they have lost
:26:23. > :26:28.three line-outs. The set piece has been even, scrummaging has been
:26:28. > :26:33.very good for England, they have got South Africa on the ropes. They
:26:33. > :26:37.can be vulnerable. But at line-out time, it has been testing on Tom
:26:37. > :26:40.Youngs, so they will want to get that right. The kicking game is not
:26:40. > :26:45.getting past the South African defence, they are not following up
:26:45. > :26:49.with the chase. England, when they have kicked well, they have put
:26:49. > :26:53.South Africa under pressure, dominated field position, and it is
:26:53. > :26:58.important they continue to do that, spent time in their path and turn
:26:58. > :27:02.it into points. They have to be careful not to concede penalties in
:27:02. > :27:07.dangerous positions. Very much so, this game was always going to be
:27:07. > :27:13.very close. One penalty, one silly penalty will give the momentum back
:27:13. > :27:17.to the opposition, but England must stay positive, played the game in
:27:17. > :27:25.the South African half, and victory could be theirs. Expect more big
:27:26. > :27:30.hits as we joined Bryan and for the worse at the start of the
:27:30. > :27:35.second half. England have had their chances to be ahead in his game,
:27:35. > :27:40.they are not, they are just behind, and they have work to do. It looks
:27:40. > :27:46.as though the wind and rain are ever so slightly against them.
:27:46. > :27:49.South Africa get as under way. Nigel Owens says knock-on by
:27:49. > :27:55.England, so South Africa have a scrum early on. They have made a
:27:55. > :28:00.change at half-time in the front row, Pat Cilliers has replaced
:28:00. > :28:04.Jannie du Plessis. What would you like to see more of from England?
:28:04. > :28:09.Well, obviously, you would like to see them kick the goals, but

:28:15. > :28:19.rain is there, to move the ball. is teaming down. It has been a
:28:19. > :28:23.miserable old day at Twickenham weatherwise. The rugby has not been

:28:43. > :28:48.against England, winning nine of them and drawing just one at Port
:28:48. > :28:52.Elizabeth in the summer. Ruan Pienaar gets it away. That works so

:29:23. > :29:31.from the restart. Ruan Pienaar just pop fizz into touch. South Africa,
:29:31. > :29:36.they scored with a driving maul again Scotland. Very powerful. It
:29:36. > :29:43.will be secured a good blow if they do get it. Strauss prepares himself.
:29:44. > :29:53.A crucial moment. Well caught by Eben Etzebeth, slowly lowered to
:29:54. > :29:56.
:29:56. > :30:02.the floor. Here comes Francois Louw, absolutely nowhere. Puts his great
:30:02. > :30:06.body in the way. Ruan Pienaar goes short to the second row. Again,

:30:11. > :30:19.defence, trailing by three points. I'll, it is messy and it falls into

:32:58. > :33:04.young man out. It has all been resolved now. Owen Farrell, in the
:33:04. > :33:07.second half, clears his lines. England, 10 points behind. From
:33:07. > :33:14.England's point of view, anything which getting into the final will
:33:14. > :33:24.be welcome. England in the second half I don't think they have had

:34:09. > :34:17.momentum goes, and again, a poor ball. They have regained it,
:34:17. > :34:26.England. Young ups made amends. Eben Etzebeth is keen to get in
:34:26. > :34:36.there for South Africa. Box kick right over the top. The ball up

:37:40. > :37:44.the home fans, sensing the opportunity once more which England
:37:44. > :37:49.desperately need to take. South Africa on the back foot. It spilled
:37:49. > :37:53.straight into the arms of Eben Etzebeth. Now a chance for South

:38:17. > :38:24.a did well to pick it up on the bounce but England needed something

:43:07. > :43:13.England within four and, again, straight through and bowled. Three
:43:13. > :43:18.crucial points for England coming back into this game. England still
:43:18. > :43:21.have plenty of time. They will be keeping a close eye on the clock.
:43:21. > :43:27.The roar is the loudest we have heard at Twickenham so far this
:43:27. > :43:31.afternoon. England were trailing 16-6. A couple of penalties has got
:43:31. > :43:41.them back to within four. Danny Care runs of and another penalty
:43:41. > :43:47.
:43:47. > :43:54.another one. Then a drop goal or penalty would put a lot of pressure
:43:54. > :44:04.on the South Africa. There is a real... There is a meeting of the
:44:04. > :44:13.
:44:13. > :44:18.mines. To be fair, Farrell, the range. So England, this time,
:44:18. > :44:24.decides to take the touch. They were criticised for doing that last
:44:24. > :44:28.week against Australia. Can they turn it into the precious score? A
:44:28. > :44:34.try get them ahead, and England really have been on top in the last
:44:34. > :44:39.15 minutes also. Saracens hooker Schalk Brits has come on for

:47:52. > :47:58.points, you are one behind. Yes, maybe territory, you may get a
:47:58. > :48:03.penalty, you may get an opportunity to work a position for a drop goal.
:48:03. > :48:06.Well, you cannot have it both ways. Last week England were criticised
:48:06. > :48:10.when they did not take the penalties, and here they are having
:48:10. > :48:17.so much territory in difficult conditions, if he can make this,
:48:17. > :48:23.they are within one point. Then the mistake, a penalty or possible drop

:48:33. > :48:41.
:48:41. > :48:48.into this game, but time is fast out. Hugely important whose throw
:48:48. > :48:56.this is! It has gone South Africa's way. That his game over now, I
:48:56. > :48:59.would think. That is a small mistake but a crucial mistake. The
:48:59. > :49:05.ball dribbles over the line, and South Africa have a chance to run
:49:05. > :49:09.this down. It should have been taken. We could be heading into the
:49:09. > :49:12.last phase of the game now, and the line-out has not failed South
:49:12. > :49:22.Africa all afternoon in these extremely difficult conditions, and
:49:22. > :49:22.
:49:22. > :49:27.it looks like England are going to from it. If they concede the
:49:27. > :49:34.penalty, that really would be it. If it is kicked off the field, that
:49:34. > :49:41.is it. South Africa are soon to celebrate a 4th successive
:49:41. > :49:46.Twickenham victory. Hougaard runs it out of play, and England fall
:49:46. > :49:51.just short on their fightback in the second half, beaten by a 16-15.
:49:52. > :49:56.You can see the disappointment etched in the Captain's face, a
:49:56. > :50:00.freak try from South Africa at the start of the second half made the
:50:00. > :50:09.difference, but it is another dispiriting defeat for England.
:50:09. > :50:13.Frustration is the overriding emotion, really pleased we stepped
:50:13. > :50:18.up our level of performance, our physicality at the breakdown, our
:50:18. > :50:21.speed in defence, our mindset to take on the Springboks, it was good,
:50:21. > :50:26.and for long periods I thought we were going to do it. We did not
:50:26. > :50:31.quite get across the line, and that is the frustration we must use as
:50:31. > :50:35.motivation for the All Blacks next week. I must say, it was
:50:35. > :50:39.intimidating, for the coaches, I want to apologise, it got quite
:50:39. > :50:43.hectic at times, but I really believed they have gone from boys
:50:43. > :50:47.to men and the last few weeks, really proud of the dice, but it
:50:47. > :50:52.has been tough at Twickenham, always after the last week, I knew
:50:52. > :50:55.they would come back from the backlash, and lucky to take the win.
:50:55. > :51:01.There were a lot of positives, obviously there try was one of
:51:01. > :51:03.those unlucky breaks in life, and a bouncing ball does that. We came
:51:03. > :51:11.back and we worked very hard, unfortunate we could not get the
:51:11. > :51:15.last few points. Fortunate with the try? Our try? Yes, definitely, we
:51:15. > :51:20.were unfortunate to moseyed in the face before, then lucky to charge
:51:20. > :51:23.on. -- to lose it. But that is what international rugby is about,
:51:23. > :51:27.getting into the right areas and putting the opposition under
:51:28. > :51:33.pressure, turning pressure into points. Last week you are
:51:33. > :51:36.criticised, especially by Sir Clive Woodward, but when he decided to go
:51:36. > :51:40.for the points today, the crowd were against you. You cannot
:51:40. > :51:45.reflect on last week when you are there, you have to make a clear
:51:46. > :51:49.decision, but unfortunately it did not come off. We will review all of
:51:49. > :51:53.our decisions on Monday. We do not do it immediately after the emotion
:51:54. > :51:59.of the game, and that will be part of the review that we talk about. I
:51:59. > :52:03.don't want to talk about it now, because the game is won and lost on
:52:03. > :52:09.lots of decisions. So I cannot draw you on whether Chris made the right
:52:09. > :52:12.call or not. No chance! So away win against the southern hemisphere
:52:12. > :52:15.teams continues and Stuart Lancaster, but he would not be
:52:15. > :52:20.drawn on whether Chris Robshaw made the right decision. What would you
:52:20. > :52:25.have done? I would definitely have gone for the corner, but it is
:52:25. > :52:28.funny, last week the Twickenham crowd were wishing Chris Robshaw to
:52:28. > :52:32.take the points, this week they were wishing completely the
:52:32. > :52:35.opposite, and I think the harsh lessons that his England team are
:52:35. > :52:39.learning, and certainly that Chris Robshaw will learn, is that those
:52:40. > :52:43.decisions are absolutely crucial to the outcome of the game. You have
:52:43. > :52:47.to have a little bit our sympathy, there has been stinging criticism
:52:47. > :52:51.from Sir Clive Woodward, booed this week and last. What we have to
:52:51. > :52:56.remember about him is that he is only playing something like his
:52:56. > :52:59.11th Test match, so he is relatively inexperienced. He played
:52:59. > :53:05.very well today, I thought England played very well, they play the
:53:05. > :53:10.conditions, and they were unlucky. We must stress that. South Africa
:53:10. > :53:14.had a fortuitous try, a hammer blow at just the wrong time. The weather
:53:14. > :53:18.got ahead in these conditions was always going to win the game. --
:53:18. > :53:22.whoever. England will rue some of the missed penalty opportunities
:53:22. > :53:26.from Toby Flood in the first half, and some of those decisions at the
:53:27. > :53:31.end of the second half. Did you like the way that England went
:53:31. > :53:34.against the Springboks? They were very physical today. They were much
:53:34. > :53:39.more direct. Manu Tuilagi looked like England's best attacking
:53:39. > :53:43.weapon. England have got to find a way of bringing Chris Ashton into
:53:43. > :53:47.their attack a bit more, because when he made a clean break, they
:53:47. > :53:50.looked like scoring. They played better, but if there was one
:53:50. > :53:54.decision that went against them, it was where they had the opportunity
:53:54. > :53:58.to take three points from the halfway line, and that would have
:53:58. > :54:02.given them an opportunity in the last five minutes to win the game.
:54:02. > :54:07.When they get into the 22, there of basic errors costing them at
:54:07. > :54:10.crucial moments. In these conditions, you can understand that
:54:10. > :54:13.errors and missed passes and dropped passes will happen. What
:54:13. > :54:17.they have learned is that the difference between winning and
:54:17. > :54:21.losing at this level is so fine, the margins are so fine. England
:54:21. > :54:26.were very much in this Test match, South Africa are the second-best
:54:26. > :54:30.team in the world, and they will be devastated they did not win.
:54:30. > :54:36.that what Stuart Lancaster will be looking at, the positives, they
:54:36. > :54:40.almost won the game? There were a few positives, Joe Launchbury's
:54:40. > :54:45.performance was one, but if they're going to win Test matches, they
:54:45. > :54:52.have to improve at scrum and line- out. It is England's All Blacks
:54:52. > :55:02.next week, the women took them on this week in the first of three
:55:02. > :55:04.
:55:04. > :55:08.the home side ahead, but a charge down from Canterbury's Katy Roberts
:55:08. > :55:14.and that -- gave New Zealander a lead that was only set to grow.
:55:14. > :55:18.They got down to business early in the second half, flying through a
:55:18. > :55:22.leaky England defence, giving the visitors a ten-point lead. A period
:55:22. > :55:26.of pressure saw England rewarded with a five-metre scrum, and the
:55:26. > :55:33.pack end their strikes with a clinical pushover finished off by
:55:33. > :55:37.the number eight, Seru Hunter. Then a successful penalty kick by
:55:37. > :55:42.Litchfield's Emily Scarratt put England within two points, but this
:55:42. > :55:48.team effort gave space for Catt merchants to go over for the
:55:48. > :55:54.winning try. Both teams now have three days to regroup before the
:55:54. > :55:58.second Test on Tuesday. A fantastic win for England's women.
:55:58. > :56:04.That continues next week as Wales take on Australia at the Millennium
:56:04. > :56:09.Stadium, live from 2pm on BBC One. We are back with highlights of
:56:09. > :56:12.England versus New Zealand on BBC Three at 7pm, and that is repeated
:56:12. > :56:17.on BBC Two the following Sunday lunchtime. And it does not get any
:56:17. > :56:22.easier for England, because the All Blacks are looking magnificent.
:56:22. > :56:25.They are, the absolute number one team in the world by a long way.
:56:25. > :56:29.This England team have been expected to win the last two Test
:56:29. > :56:33.matches, but nobody will be giving them a home for this one, so that
:56:33. > :56:38.might allow them to really play and find out a bit about themselves and
:56:38. > :56:42.where they measure up against the very best. Thank you for your
