Bath Rugby's George Ford scores try in England win over South Africa

Bath Rugby fly-half George Ford crossed the try line in England' convincing 37-21 over the Springboks.

It was England's first win over South Africa in 12 attempts over ten years which carried on Eddie Jones' superb record as Red Rose manager, who have now won all ten of their matches under him.

South Africa had taken an early 0-6 via a penalty and a drop goal, but England turned the scores around not long after courtesy of tries from Jonny May and Courtney Lawes.

Early on in the second half, with the score at 20-9 in England's favour, it was Ford's time to shine.

As England broke, Tom Youngs darted through the South African defence and executed a cheeky dummy before offloading to Ford who raced clear for try number three.

Owen Farrell was the fourth and final man to get on the scoresheet in terms of tries while Johan Goosen and Willie le Roux managed the same feat for South Africa.
