  1. Australia 10-6 England

    That's a reflection on Eddie Jones being pretty unhappy about the way England are playing, but Care has struggled with game management at the highest level. And the scrum half tends to get criticized for the way a team plays.

  2. Australia 10-6 England

    Australia concede a penalty from the scrum and Owen Farrell will kick to goal.

  3. Replacement

    Australia 10-6 England

    Change for England. Is this tactical?

    Danny Care is replaced by Jack van Poortvliet.

  4. Australia 10-6 England

    Oh dear. Australia fumble again as James Slipper drops the ball trying to stretch for a catch. England have another cheap scrum.

  5. Australia 10-6 England

    You feel that the Aussies have done their homework around the set piece.

  6. Penalty

    Australia 10-6 England

    Easy enough for Farrell. Australia had a chance to go for the jugular. They missed.

    Heather Rickman: Too many missed tackles England. Sort it out

    Aus v Eng : What a stodgy, full contrast to the rugby joy of All Blacks v Ireland. Both teams playing not to lose. England so conservative. And let's not get started on the witless obsession with kicking.

    Saul, Somerset

    Agree that England are one dimensional. On the rare occasions someone does do something different, the other players aren't able to catch up, the player gets isolated and a penalty inevitably follows.

  8. Australia 10-3 England

    Better from England who are handed some cheap territory following an Australia error.

    They very nearly mess up a line-out on the 22 as Jamie George fumbles a no-look pass, but the referee spots a holding penalty to give Owen Farrell a chance to add more points.

  9. Australia 10-3 England

    Porter is all over the show, bless him. He needs to get his head in the game quick.

  10. Penalty

    Australia 10-3 England

    Australia have been seven points better than England so far in this half. And Noah Lolesio makes it official.

  11. Australia 7-3 England

    Australia will kick at goal.

  12. Australia 7-3 England

    England are great attacking down the left but are really struggling to defend on that side.

    Marika Koroibete beats the line with the simplest of steps and gains about 20 yards. Danny Care is eventually penalised trying to hold the Aussie onslaught up and the hosts have another penalty in a great position.

  13. Australia 7-3 England

    Local boy Michael Hooper rescues a horrible clearing kick from Nic White. That could have been dangerous for the hosts.

    Australia win a scrum in their own half. The Australia fans by the way haven't stopped cheering since the opening try.

  14. Australia 7-3 England

    It was really well worked, it has taken them a while to get going but that was a set piece scored in one phase, something you rarely see in international rugby. England will be really disappointed.

  15. Australia 7-3 England

    We have a water break which will give England a chance to reset. Just as they looked on top, Australia hit them hard.

  16. Matt Dawson

    One missed tackle, an individual error but there was still a heck of a lot to do. It was beautifully done.

    Converted try - Australia 7-3 England

    Tom Wright

    Oh.

    Sensational from Australia as Marika Koroibete finds Tom Wright on the right wing and after a brilliant one-two with Nic White, Wright is clear to go over in the corner.

    Noah Lolesio's conversion is good. just.

    It's compelling stuff, but a bit on the cagey side.

  19. Australia 0-3 England

    Well Mark, it looks like England are listening as they try some fancy flicks down the left wing and again Tommy Freeman attempts to beat Usain Bolt's 100 metre record breaking clear.

    He ends up outrunning his support though and has no one to pass too as he's forced over the sideline.

    Mark Burt: England’s rugby always appears so one dimensional. Not sure if it’s the coach or the players but they seem incapable of real development. To win a World Cup you need more than a single club in your bag
