Overview
- Henry Pollock scored the turning‑point try soon after coming on, with Alex Mitchell and Luke Cowan‑Dickie adding late scores.
- England led only 10-7 at halftime despite territorial control, after Ben Earl’s opener and a long-range interception from Australia’s Harry Potter.
- The forward reinforcements — Ellis Genge, Will Stuart, Luke Cowan‑Dickie, Pollock and Tom Curry — shifted the momentum and overpowered the Wallabies pack.
- The victory at rainy Twickenham extended England’s winning run to eight and delivered their first success over Australia, New Zealand or South Africa since 2022.
- Australia were missing several Europe‑based regulars due to the non‑window fixture, and coach Joe Schmidt said England’s bench “brought a step up in intensity” as England face Fiji next and the Wallabies head to Italy.
