EDDIE PRAISES ENGLISH STARS
CAPTAIN Owen Farrell kicked 20 points as England ended their fivematch winless run in the third and final test against South Africa at a wet and windy Newlands.
England played the better wet-weather rugby as they forced the Springboks, who ended up winning the series 2-1, into numerous errors with the platform for victory laid by a 14-6 penalty count in their favour.
Wing Jonny May also added a late try, superbly set-up by a kick from flyhalf Danny Cipriani, who was making his first start for England in a decade but had little other influence on the game.
The only try for the Boks came from centre Jesse Kriel as the home side, who made five changes for the test, battled to breach a resolute England defence
Under-fire England coach Eddie Jones said: “It’s a great reward for the players. It’s a great learning experience for the World Cup.
“It’s never a deadrubber - England had never won at Newlands before. We want to be the world’s best team and we’re back on the road.” SOUTH AFRICA: Try: Kriel Con: Jantjies Pen: Jantjies ENGLAND: Try: May Con: Farrell (left) Pens: Farrell 6
