Hanigan storming run to England 30 metres area, but Oz turn ball over again.
24 mins - Big charge from England but luckily forward pass (I thought) - not called and England score - good try though. England 16-3
26mins - Oz ball in Eng half and now near 22 but Jones gives wild pass to avoid going out - England counter- attack and back in Oz half.
29 mins - England scrum on Oz 40 metre line but turn ball over.
30 mins - Eng lineout in Oz half. Excellent hot potato play from England and England score against Aussies now looking tired compared to Poms.
Final score 23-3.
Well done Poms - too good but still made a lot of mistakes and should have done better with the opportunities they had. They were not as good as the team which visited Oz in 2011 IMO.

Thoughts from England Test
Deegan far too deep in attack - schoolboy error. His counterpart in comparison played at the line well.
Moeroa solid but lacking finesse amongst higher company
Milne very poor with four turnovers conceded
Tuttle solid but had dangerous running game nullified by little ball
H Jones poor and looks very much like a rocks or diamonds type of player
Kellaway class act although had little opportunity to assert himself on the game
Fakosilea work rate not high enough at this level. Looks like Tarzan....
Maclean Jones ineffective
McCalman too small at this level. Honest toiler
Attack - Too often one out with little subtlety in game. Very few interchanges of passing amongst forwards made for easy defensive targets for England. England on the other hand were very expressive and creative in attack with poor over zealous finishing robbing them of deserved scores.
Defence - Till the last 5 min Australia were excellent holding out wave after wave of English attack. Poor back 3 positioning from Australia was rarely capitalised upon by the English.
