England were starting to get embarassing after losing seven successive Rugby Union internationals. They scored with 7 minutes left to win 23-21 against South Africa.

Its a shame that so many of the England players retired after the World Cup. They went from one of the best teams to a struggling team very quickly.

England will take any wins they can get at the moment.

South Africa has the ability to beat any team in the world. Just before losing to Ireland and England they have beaten The All Black and Australia. I think we need to pray for the current coach to find another job. How can players like Victor Matfield and Os Durandt and Luke Watson not be selected. The cream of South African players are at home. I nontheless do not think England will beat them this coming Saturday

Im just glad they have won a game, you are correct a new coach is required to turn the team around and get some fresh blood back in the team.

Andy Robinson is told his reign as England rugby union coach is over after 13 defeats in 22 Tests. Hopefully a new coach can turn the team around.
