Here's the story of how England beat the Springboks after 10 years of trying
Eddie Jones' unbeaten England ended a 10-year wait for victory over South Africa with a 37-21 win at Twickenham.
Tries from Jonny May, Courtney Lawes, George Ford and Owen Farrell, who finished with 19 points, saw Jones' winning streak extend to 10 from 10 games in 2016.
Replacement fly-half Johan Goosen scored the only try for the woeful Springboks, who have lost five of their last six Tests.

Lawes, making his 50th England appearance, scored his first Test try, but only after the television match official ruled Mike Brown had not knocked on. The Northampton lock relished the physical occasion.
Ben Youngs. Took time to get to grips with the game, but flourished once England got on top up front. Made some sniping runs which provide profitable as he made dummies which set up Ford and Farrell.
England were six days short of going 10 years without a win over the Springboks - a run which included the 2007 Rugby World Cup final when Jones was in the South Africa coaching contingent - but claimed a 10th win from 10 matches in 2016.
The once mighty Springboks were dreadful. Lured by rope-a-dope tactics, the visitors took an early advantage but soon the lack of organisation told as England exploited numerous defensive lapses.
