    Australia

    Australia's Reece Walsh, speaking to BBC One: "It was a tough one. We knew they would come out firing. It wasn't our best footy, but we got the job done in the end.

    "I wouldn't say that is the best we can play. A bit scrappy. Proud of our defence - we are just hungry to get better and that is something we can take pride in.

    "It has been amazing. Back home, everyone speaks about the weather - we came and it has been beautiful.

    "It is a cool experience to have. The game is going well over here, and we want to boost it and make it better.

    "It is a dream from the kid that grew up to where I am now."

    FT: England 8-30 Australia

    Australia celebrated winning the second Test and Ashes by dressing up for Halloween and heading to a popular bar in Liverpool last Saturday.

    They've also been up to Edinburgh and Northumberland this week, taking a dip in the North Sea.

    I wonder what they've got lined up this evening to celebrate a whitewash?

    A few boos, but mostly cheers and applause for the two sides at full time.

    The calls for Shaun Wane to be sacked were louder after the fifth try. Part of that is this crowd being Yorkshire and Wane a Lancastrian - but a series whitewash will not help his cause.

    Will Wane still be in charge in 11 months time, for the 2026 World Cup?

    The score doesn't reflect the performance of both teams. Australia will bend, but they will not break and then they come back with a suckerpunch.

    Australia get the job done again.

    Shaun Wane and England will be wondering how they finished 22 points down on the scoreboard.

    What a piece of evasion that was from Reece Walsh.

    That is what scrums offer you - man on man stuff. He is just a great athlete.

    Reece Walsh, too hot to handle. The rockstar of rugby league.

    England had kept Reece Walsh quiet until about 10 minutes ago.

    A brilliant step from the Australia full-back takes him past Kai Pearce-Paul and Alex Walmsley that is very much that.

    Cameron Munster has been fantastic, but there is only one better than him today, Harry Grant.

    Once again, England put Australia under pressure but can’t score, then Australia go up the other end and come away with points. It’s like Groundhog Day every week.

    England are throwing the ball around like the Harlem Globetrotters but are just going backwards. They get out of jail when Harry Grant gets in Josh Addo-Carr's way. The Australia flyer would have been away there.

    So proud of England. Players at their absolute limit. Getting beat by even a sub-par Australia is no shame or a surprise. The gulf between league in Aus and the UK is massive. Heads held high after this effort lads.

    England will feel they have played better than the 16 points they trail by. They get a penalty but the option of two points is turned down.

    England had their chances with the pressure and they couldn't get over the line.

    That is what you get against a quality side.

    Having also won 3-0 in the last series back in 2003, this means Australia will complete clean sweeps in successive Ashes for the first time since 1986.

    "You're getting sacked in the morning," sing some England fans at Shaun Wane.
