Australia (7) 7

England defeated Australia in their final test match against Australia thanks to efforts from warp-speed backrowers Ben Earl and Henry Pollock.

England retaliated with a performance at Allianz Stadium Twickenham that was heavy on perspiration, albeit a little weak on cohesion, after the Wallabies last year outlasted a 10-try classic.

After Harry Potter’s breakaway try gave them a lifeline to the game, Australia were only three points clear at the break.

However, England’s cushion was restored just before the hour when a snipe from Alex Mitchell and a rolling maul by Luke Cowan-Dickie ensured they could survive the final stages comfortably.
