South Africa retained their year-end unbeaten run with hard-earned 16-15 win over England in a dour arm-wrestle at Twickenham on Saturday.
There will be some debate about the only try of the match, going to Springbok flank Willem Alberts, but they will take the win nay way they can.
The stand-out feature of the match was the Boks' defence, which meant they have stretched their unbeaten run against England to 11 matches - with a 14-all draw in June the only mishap since South Africa's last loss to England back in 2006.
It is also the first time since 2008 that the Boks won all their matches on their year-end tour.
