England laid down a mark of intent at their fortress Twickenham, as they outplayed the Wallabies for their first win of the November internationals.
The much-vaunted 20-year-old loose forward Henry Pollock came off the bench to score a crucial second-half try as England romped to a 25-7 win.

Steve Borthwick’s side controlled much of the contest but were left frustrated in a scrappy first half, taking only a 10-7 lead into the break thanks to Ben Earl’s converted effort and a George Ford penalty. The Wallabies’ only spark came from winger Harry Potter, whose brilliant length-of-the-field intercept briefly lifted the visitors.
Too much power from the England pack

But England found their rhythm after the hour mark. Pollock crossed for his third try in just two Tests – backing up his stunning two-try debut off the bench against Wales earlier this year – to ignite the home side.
Scrumhalf Alex Mitchell and hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie added late scores to seal a comfortable win that underlined England’s depth and growing confidence heading into the rest of their November campaign.
