ENGLAND won the Cook Cup and their eighth successive victory over the Wallabies after making heavy weather of Saturday’s contest at Twickenham.

The win gives England a one-game lead, 26-25, in the contest between the two old enemies.

Despite the predominance of possession and playing against 14 men for 20 minutes, the home side only stretched away late in the second half.
