RUGBY – ENGLAND got their Autumn International campaign off to a convincing start with a totally dominant 25-7 victory over a toothless Australia at Twickenham to make it eight wins in a row.
England were on top for much of the first half but had only a Ben Earl try and a penalty to show for it and led only 10-7 at the break after Harry Potter scored a length of the field interception try.
England threw on their own “bomb squad” of five British and Irish Lions forwards early in the second half and one of them, flanker Henry Pollock, galloped over for their second try.
Scrumhalf Alex Mitchell scored a clever third in the 72nd minute, sniping from the back of maul, and an unstoppable 30-metre maul then enabled replacement hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie to mark his 50th appearance with the fourth to give the scoreboard a more accurate reflection of England’s control.
