adminBLOEMFONTEIN. — England’s defeat by South Africa in Saturday’s rugby Test match was marred by a post-match confrontation between players Mike Brown and Joe Marler and fans.
The Harlequins duo exchanged angry words with supporters after England lost their fifth straight Test, beaten 23-12 by South Africa in Bloemfontein.England head coach Eddie Jones said he did not see the incident. But asked if his players won or lost with dignity, he told BBC Radio 5 live: “I think they always do.” England led 12-0 but the defeat means South Africa have wrapped up the series 2-0 with one match to play.
A further sign of England’s frustration came when scrum-half Ben Youngs walked away from a television interview after one question. He subsequently apologised on social media for conduct that was strongly criticised by Sir Clive Woodward in his role as a pundit. — BBC Sport
