England brush aside Wallabies challenge with 30-6 win

England 30-6 Australia, Twickenham Stadium
Scorecard

England have stretched their winning streak against Australia to five as they registered a 30-6 triumph in their second game of the autumn international at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.

Australia suffered sin-bins to skipper Michael Hooper and Kurtley Beale at the end of the first half while a couple of their tries were also disallowed on what was a marginal call.

Owen Farrell, who returned back to the side after missing out the game against Argentina kicked a sixth minute penalty to begin the proceedings for England.

With wet conditions prevailing, Australia showed more intent and it looked like Hooper had scored their first try, only for the TMO to overturn the decision for offside.

With Hooper sin-binned in the 32nd minute for repeated infringement, Farrell capitalised on the advantage with his second penalty to make it 6-0 in favour of the hosts. With a deliberate knock down at the stroke of half time, Wallabies were reduced to 13 men as Beale was also yellow-carded.

Michael Cheika's side finally managed to open their account when Reece Hodge struck a penalty in the 48th minute but England's response came from Elliot Daly, who capitalsed on a kick from George Ford to score the opening try of the game in the 53rd minute with Farrell slotting the conversion.

A 63rd minute penalty kick from Bernard Foley brought down the gap to 13-6 but England owned the final 10 minutes with Jonathan Joseph (71'), Jonny May (78') and Danny Care (80'+1) all crossing over to complete a 30-6 win for Eddie Jones' side.
