England were transformed in the second half, with their backs finally getting the ball in hand and Farrell and Elliot Daly providing the points with the boot. He duly ruled it legal - just - to give England a morale-boosting win after losing five of their previous six full internationals, including a 2-1 series defeat in South Africa. Monster kickIt was a South African offence 10 minutes into the second half that allowed Daly to land a monster three-pointer to, somewhat remarkably, put England ahead. Pollard missed his late shot but there was still time for more drama as South Africa launched a series of attacks. England now prepare to face the All Blacks next week, for the first time in four years, while South Africa will welcome back their absentees to take on France in Paris.
