CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Eddie Jones says England’s composure under pressure was vastly improved as they claimed a consolation 25-10 victory in the third and final test against South Africa at a wet Newlands on Saturday.

The Springboks won the series 2-1, but the win in Cape Town ends a five-match losing run for England and eased the pressure on Jones, who felt his side were more in control of the ball in the wet conditions.
