What is it about matches between the South Africa and England over the last 106 years that they so often have been must-win occasions for the Springboks?

The men from Pretoria barely pointed a horn in anger at the Kiwis, despite frustrated captain Victor Matfield exhorting them to at least attempt a stampede. Instead they were reduced to a bunch...
