Your support makes all the difference.England recorded a comfortable 30-6 victory over Australia at Twickenham to continue their 100 per cent record in the autumn internationals, with the red rose crossing for four tries at a soaked Twickenham Stadium in a record victory over the Wallabies.
Eddie Jones’ side held a narrow 6-3 advantage at the break, with the intense rain leading to plenty of mistakes and handling errors due to the slippery ball.
However, the hosts started to click in the second half, and Twickenham roared when Elliot Daly crossed for a try after a nervous TMO check, with the ball flirting with the touchline before being hacked up-field by the wing before he dived over to score.
With that, the floodgates opened, and soon enough Jonathan Joseph was over for a similar try as he pounced on a loose ball and slid over the line.
Australia continued to fight, but two tries in the final two minutes killed them off as first Jonny May crossed with an excellent finish before Danny Care dived over with the final play of the game.
