Britain lead trainer Alan Dickens accepts his side wandered excessively far from their strategy in their Six Nations Under-20s Summer Series rout against South Africa.

Dickens' side lost 30-22 in an exciting Pool An opener, starting to lead the pack right off the bat kindness of a John Stewart score from the rear of a lineout drive.

Yet, that was essentially as great as it got for England, the whose set-piece was a specific reason for worry for Dickens.

"It was truly disheartening," he said. "The lineout didn't work. I think we were at 53% toward the finish of the game. Furthermore, for ownership, we just had 41% come 80 minutes.

"The young men are frustrated, and I'm disheartened for them. Our attitude in the primary half, we needed to keep the ball close by and run South Africa round, and we didn't.

"We did it for 10 minutes and looked pretty dangerous, and afterward, we went to a kicking game. That didn't work, and they had a few hazardous sprinters."

Britain drove until not long before the span; however, a Nico Steyn attempt not long before the break and two scores inside the initial 10 minutes of the subsequent period eventually put the game far-off.

A changed-over score from commander Emeka Ilione took England to inside five marks of the Junior Boks. They then facilitated clear as the game wore on before a late comfort pursues Conor Oresanya.

With pitch side temperatures floating at 33 degrees, England maybe passed on themselves with a shortfall too extraordinary to even consider pivoting in the final part, as the new Italian intensity caused significant damage. In any case, Dickens says the climate offers no real reason.

"We had two magnificent games against Scotland up in Newcastle," he said.

"I just put it down to the mentality, our methodology going into the game, we didn't complete that; however, I'm certain these players can change that."

Rout finished a run of five successive successes over South Africa at the U20s level. Yet, four of those triumphs had dropped by an edge of eight places or less, and Dickens laments that his side couldn't profit by their possibilities in the thing was continuously going to be a tight issue.

He said: " One mistake for me was that we got back in it with Emeka's score, and afterward, we offered a punishment which took them eight clear, and we wanted two scores once more.

"It was unquestionably a game that moved away from us and surely one from which we might have an outcome."
