SYDNEY (AP) " England secured a 3-0 series whitewash and extended coach Eddie Jones' unbeaten streak to nine matches with a pulsating 44-40 victory against Australia in the third rugby test on Saturday. After Farrell and Foley traded penalties, England regained the lead on the half-hour with Anthony Watson's chipped kick finding fullback Mike Brown. Foley kicked his second penalty to give Australia a slender 18-17 lead at the break after Itoje was caught offside in the final play of the half. Farrell kicked a match-clinching penalty in the 78th minute to give him 66 points for the series. Australia scored five tries to England's four, but it was Owen Farrell who again proved the difference between the teams, amassing 24 points with near flawless goal-kicking on a bitterly cold night at Sydney Football Stadium.
