BOKS CLEVER

Corbus: We're smart at getting job done

- ADAM HATHAWAY

STEVE BORTHWICK has been handed the secret of how to shut out tight games by a Springbok team that knows how to get the job done.

The England head coach was left fuming at his side’s failure to close the deal in Saturday’s 42-37 defeat by Australia and was seen banging his desk in frustration at the end of the match at Twickenham.

England have slipped to close defeats by France, three times to New Zealand and then repeated the trick against the Wallabies since their last-gasp victory over Ireland in March.
