South Africa overpowered a game England to win the first Test of the three-match series in Durban.
For 40 minutes England held their own against a side that had only five days to prepare for the contest.
The score was 6-6 at the break but after the restart the Springboks increased the physicality.
Tries from Morne Steyn and Jean de Villiers effectively secured the match for the hosts and a late touch-down by Ben Foden was a mere consolation.
