ED'S BOK TO SQUARE ONE

Twickers hits boos for Jones flops

- ALEX SPINK

MANU TUILAGI was given a 50th cap to forget as England were beaten up and booed off.

A week after dodging a bullet against New Zealand, Eddie Jones' side were obliterated by South Africa, slumping to a seventh loss in 2022.

It completed the nation's worst set of results in a calendar year since 2008 and left Tuilagi admitting: "We weren't good enough and we've got to take it on the chin." England were out-muscled by an under-strength Boks side in an experience every bit as chastening as their 2019 World Cup final drubbing in Japan.

By the end of the first half England had spent only six seconds in the opposition 22 due to a vast error count and the familiar disciplinary issues.
