The hard work had been done on the other wing with Anthony Watson befuddling Marika Koroibete with a step, stutter, step.
The ball spins the other way, Manu Tuilagi runs a thundering decoy angle and Tom Curry gives the final pass to put May into the corner.
Extras from the touchline from Farrell.

There’s your man Beale! Playmakers get the ball in their hands, you could see Beale like a cobra pouncing, thinking ‘this is my opportunity’.

Kurtley Beale weaving like Muhammad Ali!

Australia are not going to die wondering. Will Genia tries an ambitious miss-three pass over the top to Marika Koroibete. But the ball misses the unmarked wing and drifts into touch.

And breathe.
England fans were so caught off guard by that start that they forgot to sing Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. They've rectified that for this scrum though.

What a start! England were desperate for a stop in that play.

Manu Tuilagi is swaggering and eyeballing the green and gold ranks. He and Ben Youngs have just tag-team tackled Christian Lealiifano to force the knock-on and end 15+ phases of Aussie pressure.
