Overview
- England pulled away 25-7 at Twickenham in front of 81,468, opening their Autumn Nations Series with a four-try victory.
- Replacement flanker Henry Pollock crossed in the 59th minute before Alex Mitchell and Luke Cowan-Dickie added late tries.
- Five British & Irish Lions forwards entered around the 51st minute, tipping the set-piece and collisions decisively in England’s favor.
- Australia, short of several Europe-based regulars because the fixture fell outside World Rugby’s release window, scored only through Harry Potter’s long intercept.
- The win extends England’s streak to eight Tests and is their first over South Africa, Australia or New Zealand since 2022, with Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina to come.
