line out

Against South Africa, Ben Earl missed a vital tackle on Damian de Allende, before England's faint hopes of crowbarring their way to a comeback were dashed by Luke Cowan-Dickie's twitchy line-out throw and Itoje picking, not going and being caught at the back of a promising breakdown.

A line-out trick-play and a couple of forward surges sucked in England's defence and, just at the point when it seemed the Boks were going to crash through the front door, they burgled a try out wide, with a touchline-hugging Kolbe stepping Steward after being picked out by Manie Libbok's cross-kick.

Luke Cowan-Dickie was penalised for a dummy line-out throw within sight of the South Africa line.

The excellent Raffaele Storti went over for Portugal's third try just short of the hour after Scotland's awful line-out malfunctioned again.

Graham might have binned for a deliberate knock-on and then a Portuguese player was taken out in the air at a line-out.
