They did well to stay in contention at the break but England were very much favourites going into the final 40 minutes. However, the hosts lifted their game significantly, particularly in the final quarter and started to physically get on top. Samu Kerevi was especially magnificent by continually shoving defenders out of the way and it allowed Australia to build pressure. Dave Rennie’s men also adapted well and played smartly, becoming more direct and to a degree taking on the tourists at their own game. That was some collapse from England, who lose to 14 men in very different circumstances for the second consecutive game Injury-ravaged Wallabies superb in the second half & deserved the win.
