24′ Penalty Wallabies

By Simon Smale

A good deep kick from the kick off.

Ben Earl was offside at the breakdown.

The Wallabies were unable to make anything of the advantage so they’ll have a chance from just outside the 22.

Meanwhile, Nick Frost is down in backplay.

He is treated and the Wallabies kick for the corner.

21′ Try England!

By Simon Smale

Brilliant from England!

Straight after scoring, another box kick goes up from Alex Mitchell.

Suallii is under it, he misses it and it’s England who have the numbers in support from Tom Roebuck, who gets up and takes the ball out of the lap of Suallii.

Ben Earl gathers the ball and runs 45 metres to score.

The kick is good and England suddenly lead 10-0.

19′ Penalty England

By Simon Smale

Another kick for Steward to chase.

Another ball that the Wallabies have to scan the sky for.

And another penalty for hanging on on the ground by Tane Edmed.

It’s 3-0 England.

18′ Immanuel Feyi-Waboso shows a glimpse

By Simon Smale

Oh my, the Wallabies won’t want to give Immanuel Feyi-Waboso too much space.

He had the ball on the left and waved his way through a number of tackles and made impressive ground.

Tane Edmed made a really strong tackle on him and then he passed it to Harry Wilson.

Kellaway broke away in response but another long kick is gathered by Steward.

17′ Wallabies scrum

By Simon Smale

Jake Gordon puts up a kick and England manage to gather.

They shift the ball across to their left, the English, and are around the outside of the cramped Wallabies line.

However, Suaalii is there to make a good tackle high on the shoulders of Roebuck.

England recycle really well but then Ben Earl puts the ball down.

It will be a Wallabies scrum.

14′ Wallabies blow a chance

By Simon Smale

Good work from the Wallabies, hard carries taking the ball up to the England 5.

The visitors spin the ball left and then Potter passes it straight into the hands of Tom Roebuck and he runs away with it!

He attempts to kick as he is tackled so Rob Valetini is able to pounce on it.

The kick goes up from the Wallabies for Suaalii to chase but he knocks on when challenging Steward.

12′ Wallabies scrum collapses

By Simon Smale

Oh that’s an ugly scrum, pressure on all over the place and England manage to steal the ball as a result.

However, we’re going to come back as according to Amashukeli, the scrum had broken apart before the Wallabies were able to get the ball out.

Let off the Wallabies who have a repeat scrum on the England 22.

11′ Wallabies scrum

By Simon Smale

Another high kick from Gordon. Potter elevates himself to get the ball and tap it back.

It is then tapped back again by Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii but straight into the arms of Guy Pepper.

But knocked on by him and the Wallabies have a scrum 22 metres out.

9′ Wallabies penalty!

By Simon Smale

England won the line out well enough, but then at the breakdown there was a side entry (hang on, isn’t that what England have been highlighting about the Wallabies?) and the visitors get a good exit from their 22 with the kick to the line.

9′ England penalty!

By Simon Smale

Harry Potter with a nice little break but the Wallabies are far too slow in getting there to support him and the England side get the penalty.

8′ Wallabies win the turnover!

By Simon Smale

Taniela Tupou is a monster in the lose! A huge hit from him put England off their stride.

Then Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii won the turnover.

5′ England penalty

By Simon Smale

Lovely kick from Ford to Feyi-Waboso that Kellaway does really well to knock back.

The Wallabies were too early with the drive at the line out though so England will have another penalty and will take the line out.

4′ England penalty

By Simon Smale

England launch the kick long and they are going to win a penalty at the breakdown.

Great speed from the England attackers and they got there to disrupt.

Harry Wilson again guilty there I think, just a bit slow getting into the ruck.

3′ England penalty

By Simon Smale

Potter kicks the ball down the line after a floated pass towards his right wing.

But Immanuel Feyi-Waboso got across and gathered on his own 5,

He’s tackled and the Wallabies charge in, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii having to back out of a tackle as Feyi-Waboso’s head was right where he wanted to grab.

England get a penalty for Harry Wilson blocking the clear out area.
