Overview
- England ran in 25 unanswered points to overturn a 12-0 deficit at Twickenham, securing a 10th straight victory under Steve Borthwick.
- George Ford steered the comeback with two first‑half drop goals as England’s late‑impact bench again underpinned their tactical control.
- England faced the haka in a tight U‑formation, with Henry Pollock’s lip‑licking stare drawing mixed reactions from fans and commentators.
- In Dublin, Mack Hansen scored a first‑half hat‑trick before Ireland pulled away late to record their biggest‑ever win over Australia.
- Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt said the scoreline was “exaggerated somewhat,” citing a costly yellow card and second‑half control issues, as analysis points to a slide outside the top six before next month’s 2027 World Cup draw seeding.
