England’s rugby team faced another setback this autumn, losing to South Africa due to a series of unforced errors. Scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet was at the center of controversy after a charged down kick led to an early try for South Africa. Though showing significant courage and energy, England has repeatedly undermined their efforts with mistakes, including missed tackles and failed plays in critical moments. With three home defeats in a row for the first time since 2006, the team’s struggles extend beyond individual performances, raising questions about selections and strategies.
