BLOEMFONTEIN (Reuters) - Eddie Jones described England's 23-12 loss to South Africa in Saturday’s second test in Bloemfontein as being "like a horror movie" as poor discipline led to a series loss and a fifth straight test defeat.

For the second week running England raced into an early lead with two tries inside the first 13 minutes, but did not manage a point after that as the Springboks took control of the contest and forced England into conceding a penalty try.
