England do it on a wet and windy night at Twickenham
England 30-6 Australia

A MESSY but tumultuous tussle at Twickenham in torrential rain saw England rack up their widest winning margin as they defeated the Wallabies on Saturday.

It was also England’s fifth win on the bounce against Australia and keeps Eddie Jones’s team ranked number two in the world.

The scoreline flattered the home side as Jones conceded afterwards. The visibly pleased coach said: “That was a tough old game and there was not much in it, but we got the rub of the ball.”
