“If you make 11 adjustments to a aspect and count on them to right away gel, it received’t all the time occur like that.

“The scoreboard perhaps doesn’t inform the entire story, however we will in all probability be very pleased with enjoying towards (a playmaker similar to) Finn Russell in two video games and never giving a strive away. That’s actually laborious to do.

“But it wasn’t a performance that we’re very proud of in terms of what we put out today.”

Veteran lock Eben Etzebeth agreed that they would wish extra synergy towards England.

“But, at the end of the day, it was a good performance because we beat them by that margin. There were just some aspects where we were not up to scratch, so there will be some harsh words and some good words, and I think you need that.”
