FULL TIME: ENGLAND A 38 DEF AUSTRALIA XV 17

78′ ENGLAND A TRY! Just a little icing on the top for the hosts there when Cadan Murley grabs another from some crisp first-phase play off the rolling maul. Murley has been busy all day but this time he keeps his width and is rewarded with his second try from a long ball into open paddock | England A 38-17

74′ Look away, Aussie fans. A couple of mistakes looked to have cost the visitors this one with Jock Campbell failing to find touch from a Luke Reimer turnover penalty before ill-discipline saw them march further back up. England with all the momentum now and time on their side.

68′ ENGLAND A TRY! Comes Muir like a thief in the night! It rains tries at the Stoop as Muir picks off a looping long ball from Jock Campbell to run away untouched and restore England’s book. Campbell will want it again, not his best effort | England 31-17

66′ AUSTRALIA XV TRY! Now we have a game on our hands! After 57 minutes of rather tepid rugby, this game burst into life with Rhys van Nek slotting over after a couple of England tries. A half-break from Corey Toole put sparks in the air and Australia were not to be denied from their rolling maul platform with van Nek surging over two phases later | England A 24-17

62′ ENGLAND A TRY! Reserve backrower Greg Fisilau barrels over and the hosts are well in control of this contest now! Nothing special about that try – just good hard berries from the Pommy pack and Fisilau’s fresh legs delivered the hammer blow. England now lead with two converted tries and it’s Australia chasing their tails | England A 24-10

57′ ENGLAND A TRY! Now that’s what the fans came to see! Curtis Langdon iced a 70m counter-attack attempt by England sparked by the irrepressible Gabriel Ibitoye and England took the lead. It all came from poor kick hunting on a Ryan Lonergan box kick that was moved wide to Ibitoye for a one-two with Pollack straight down in the Australian 22 and Langdon was Johnny on the Spot for a wide recovery. This time England’s conversion sails over and it’s the hosts in front with a seven-point buffer | England A 17-10

52′ Strong counter moves and some sharp kicks from Ryan Lonergan get Australia out of trouble, but an excellent attacking platform is wasted with Darby Lancaster’s line break being called back for a forward pass.

48′ Just starting to see the English gaining success and confidence here – a lovely wide move set Henry Pollock off down the right and some handling errors cost Australia their chances. England now with an attacking scrum inside Australia’s 22 and looking dangerous.

44′ ENGLAND A TRY! It’s the English wingers combining down the right touchline with Ibitoye putting Murley in the corner! Lovely hands from Oscar Beard set Ibitoye free and simple hands did the rest – the conversion failed yet again so the score is even | 10-all

42′ Not the start to the second half Australia wanted with Harry Hoopert pinged for obstructing the English kick chase. The hosts are back in Australia’s 22 and go on the attack early!

40′ Luke Reimer, bug! The Test champion keeps Australia’s lead intact with his second breakdown penalty of the game and it’s the visitors 10-5 up at half-time! Reimer and Hooper by far Australia’s best while Jack Willis and wing duo Ibitoye and Murley have shone for England.

38′ England are hammering the Aussie line now – punishing up the sleeve and their scrum looks to gain the upper hand. Can the golden wall last until half time?

34′ Clutch defensive play from Ryan Lonergan and Jock Campbell saves what looked a likely Cadan Murley effort into the top right corner – the Aussie duo combining well to keep the English up and force a maul turnover. England look more dangerous in attack but Australia’s defense is yet to crack | Australia XV 10-5

30′ AUSTRALIA XV PENALTY GOAL! Nice decisive three-pointer there from Tom Lynagh ends a frenetic passage from both sides. Joey Walton has had some nice touches at outside center for the Aussies while Cadan Murley looks a real threat on England’s right wing. However, Australia were camped in England’s patch for a while and really needed a reward | Australia XV 10-5

27′ Two opportunities missed there for Australia – they worked their way 5m out of England’s line twice but have been let down by poor attacking clearances and penalties go against them.

22′ England still dominate territory and possession here at the Stoop – sharp defensive breakdown work from Tom Hooper saved the Aussies’ blushes at one point – but the golden wall is largely holding firm and a big scrum penalty from youngster Massimo De Lutiis has just given them a little respite | Australia XV 7-5

17′ Little win for the Aussies there as young England tyrant Henry Pollock gives away a silly penalty with his side in command and swings some handbags with Tom Hooper. Lots of wraps on Pollock, keen to see how he shapes up against this experienced Aussie backrow | Australia XV 7-5

13′ Not exactly champagne rugby here as the two sides play more than a little kick tennis. England run out winners with an attacking lineout from 50m and a subsequent penalty to Reimer at the breakdown gives the hosts a real sniff inside Australia’s 22 | Australia XV 7-5

9′ AUSTRALIA XV TRY! The visitors wasted no time in responding to that Ibitoye try with Jock Campbell and Hamish Stewart finding half breaks from a messy restart. A penalty saw them plug the corner and Luke Reimer is the recipient of a powerful rolling maul headed by Josh Canham. Tom Lynagh adds the extras and Australia take the lead | Australia XV 7-5

6′ ENGLAND A TRY! It’s the hosts with first blood here at the Twickenham Stoop as Joe Heyes crashes over. It all came from a great scrummage that unlocked the flying Gabriel Ibitoye outside. Quick recovery from the English saw Australia back off and no one was going to stop Heyes from close range. The conversion failed so it’s a five point buffer early | England A 5-0

3′ It’s a good start for Australia with Test pick Luke Reimer earning an early breakdown penalty. Australia march up and attack from a lineout just outside England’s 22 but a promising break from Hamish Stewart is turned over. Busy from both sides early.

1′ We’re up and running here at the Twickenham Stoop – England kick off and Australia run from right to left on your screens at home. 80 exciting minutes left!
