South Africa have completed an unbeaten rugby tour of Europe with a 16-15 victory over England at Twickenham that did more damage to the hosts' hopes of a top-four seeding at next month's World Cup draw.
Springboks flanker Willem Alberts's try - the only one of the match - early in the second half proved the decisive score.
But with the home side trailing 16-12 and only two minutes left, England captain Chris Robshaw - criticised for running kickable penalties during last week's defeat by Australia - told replacement five-eighth Owen Farrell to go for goal rather than opt for an attacking line-out that could have lead to a try.
But while Farrell landed the kick, it meant England, fifth in the world rankings, were still a point behind.
South Africa then ran down the clock to extend their unbeaten streak against England to 11 Tests.
