:00:19. > :00:27.Time to write another chapter in the autumn test almanac. Ten years ago

:00:28. > :00:30.there were unprecedented scenes on the streets of London as England

:00:31. > :00:42.ruled the rugby world. There have been plenty of highlights since And

:00:43. > :00:47.a few viewpoints, too. And a thumping in Cardiff that took the

:00:48. > :00:52.spring night of the step of England. Two years another World Cup, nothing

:00:53. > :00:58.much has changed in the international pecking order. It is

:00:59. > :02:11.still the southern hemisphere sides that set the standard.

:02:12. > :02:19.The last two days sending all about the past, with celebration matches

:02:20. > :02:24.and dinners mark the match in Sydney ten years ago. Today is all about

:02:25. > :02:28.the present and future, with these two sides in the same group the

:02:29. > :02:33.World Cup. Lewis Moody was there on the field of play ten years ago So

:02:34. > :02:39.many unfair comparisons are being made about 1510 years ago to the

:02:40. > :02:45.team of today. Questions about where are the leaders, the game winners?

:02:46. > :02:54.Where do you see this side? It is still finding its feet. Courtney

:02:55. > :03:01.Lawes stepping into that line a rule, for a quiet man that is a big

:03:02. > :03:08.responsibility. Farrell has had a very important role. In terms of the

:03:09. > :03:12.Australians, they have very important role. In terms of the

:03:13. > :03:16.night year. It seems very important role. In terms of the

:03:17. > :03:24.a much more disciplinarian approach. Given the fact it is

:03:25. > :03:32.raining, is good that Quade Cooper has come back to number ten? When I

:03:33. > :03:38.played against him, he could either be brilliant or terrible. This is

:03:39. > :03:45.the Lord -- the reward for all the effort he has put in. I think in

:03:46. > :03:51.these conditions, it will sit England's and that will sit Owen

:03:52. > :03:57.Farrell. -- it will sit Owen Farrell. The clock is ticking on to

:03:58. > :04:01.the next World Cup. How much are these matches about results and her

:04:02. > :04:08.much about performance? Having spoken to Stuart Lancaster during

:04:09. > :04:11.the week, his thought to assess is about high England want to be seen

:04:12. > :04:20.to be playing, the intent they will play the game with. Ultimately, we

:04:21. > :04:28.need to win. Today, the first game of the autumn is a big step. I am

:04:29. > :04:34.confident with this side. I like what he is doing with the young guys

:04:35. > :04:39.coming in. It is a really exciting line-up at the moment. What they are

:04:40. > :04:43.in these conditions will have on the match as a spectacle we will find

:04:44. > :04:48.out night in the company of Brian Miller and Eddie Butler. -- Brian

:04:49. > :05:05.Moore. EDDIE: ten years ago almost to the

:05:06. > :05:10.day England won the World Cup. Two years to go before they hold the

:05:11. > :05:18.next World Cup and the build-up starts seriously right here. It is a

:05:19. > :05:31.first in the centre for Joel Tomkins. Up front it is a more

:05:32. > :05:38.experienced look. It is a very mobile, athletic pack. England are

:05:39. > :05:43.read from the back row by Chris Robshaw. Australia are looking to

:05:44. > :05:53.play a faster game, too. Leading that would be Quade Cooper, but they

:05:54. > :06:03.have excitement in the centre, Tevita Kuridrani is a giant waste in

:06:04. > :06:13.Fiji. Plenty of talent to come off the bench. Ben Morgan, can he

:06:14. > :06:19.rediscover his best form? Well, Christian Leali'ifano played against

:06:20. > :06:23.the Lions, he is coming back from injury. George Clancy is the

:06:24. > :06:55.referee, from Ireland. Clever kick by Quade Cooper. Danger

:06:56. > :07:06.therefore England. Good afternoon, Brian. Good afternoon. Australia

:07:07. > :07:08.could have been over the line there! Not taking the kick-off is a bad

:07:09. > :07:30.mistake for England. Australia are on the front foot It

:07:31. > :07:36.is not the start that England would have wanted, but I think they have

:07:37. > :07:37.to play out the first 20 minutes to get some familiarity with all the

:07:38. > :08:10.new unit. -- units. Good tackling by the new England

:08:11. > :08:21.centre pairing, Billy Twelvetrees and Joel Tomkins.

:08:22. > :08:33.Good disruptive work by Joe Launchbury. England are awarded the

:08:34. > :08:36.penalty. Good work by England's I thought Australia might have a bit

:08:37. > :08:43.more cogency because they have played more games.

:08:44. > :08:48.Smooth the strike of the ball by Owen Farrell. England take the

:08:49. > :08:57.lead. Tom Wood can take, so Australia

:08:58. > :09:31.through Quade Cooper. side. -- offside. That is Billy

:09:32. > :09:37.Vunipola not concentrating. That is a cheap shot. Australia did not have

:09:38. > :09:48.to work for about. -- for that. We are all square at Twickenham

:09:49. > :10:05.Quade Cooper with his first success. James Horwill has had is the

:10:06. > :10:06.captaincy taken on them so he can get his game back together,

:10:07. > :10:16.according to the coach. Brilliant by Mike Brown! He is in

:10:17. > :10:48.superb form at the moment. Penalty to England, Australia not

:10:49. > :10:57.behind the rear foot. Mike Brown has been in great form. For a guy who

:10:58. > :11:00.looks relatively fragile, he is not. He has a very strong upper body

:11:01. > :11:08.That is one of the things that he does very well. His efforts have led

:11:09. > :11:24.to the penalty. He was catching up over the shoulders of Will Genia!

:11:25. > :11:26.Mako Vunipola and Billy Vunipola, they will make dense in the

:11:27. > :11:48.opposition defence. Have you ever wondered what the top

:11:49. > :11:57.of a hooker's head looks like? Now you know!

:11:58. > :12:24.George Clancy has said breaking up. I don't think Stephen Moore can

:12:25. > :12:32.complain about the facts that it has cramped Orions completely. There is

:12:33. > :12:38.Julian White, part of the squad that won the World Cup. There was a big

:12:39. > :12:51.dinner last night, I'm sure it was very quiet, sober, lots of poetry.

:12:52. > :12:59.It is the draw again, right to left. Normally this is a part of his game

:13:00. > :13:07.that is very strong. Against Australia, you can afford to leave

:13:08. > :13:23.six points on the board. His foot just went, didn't it?

:13:24. > :13:50.Do you think he was looking for a touch or just looking to put it into

:13:51. > :14:04.space? That was good work by Australia.

:14:05. > :14:16.Ashley-Cooper ran the inside nine. They have held him up. It has gone

:14:17. > :14:24.down now... No it hasn't. Good defence in retreat. England not

:14:25. > :14:33.falling for the dummy pass. Vunipola staying on his man. There is the

:14:34. > :14:40.inside option. Not taken. Good awareness by Vunipola and strength

:14:41. > :14:43.to keep his man on his feet. But then again, Genia against Vunipola,

:14:44. > :15:06.not necessarily fair! This time, Tom Youngs did strike. A

:15:07. > :15:11.penalty. Quickly taken. Lee Dickson not allowed to do it. He did not

:15:12. > :15:23.take it from the right place. Got to be behind the scrum. Yes. He tapped

:15:24. > :15:26.it five metres away. Rowntree will be pleased about the scrum, not

:15:27. > :15:39.pleased about the play after. It is important England get this

:15:40. > :15:45.line-out right. It is an attacking choice. They will be looking for Tom

:15:46. > :16:01.Wood if they can. Courtney Lawes in the middle. Billy Vunipola down the

:16:02. > :16:02.front. This time it did work. England trying to turn and

:16:03. > :16:19.straightened. England with the advantage. The referee. Step away.

:16:20. > :16:33.We know the victim, James Horwill. James Horwill watching them go past

:16:34. > :16:35.him and then down the side. Once he has gone past, you have got to go

:16:36. > :16:48.back round on the back foot. Closer, but not close enough. Chance

:16:49. > :17:13.to run for Marland Yarde. Good tackle by James Slipper, the

:17:14. > :17:29.prop. Billy Vunipola, this is what he does

:17:30. > :17:32.so well. The float to Joe Launchbury. England need to be

:17:33. > :17:53.patient. They have a penalty advantage. There

:17:54. > :18:06.you see, the Vunipola brothers at their best. Vunipola saw the chance.

:18:07. > :18:13.It is a question of sporting where and when to pick the ball up with

:18:14. > :18:14.Launchbury in support. England did not panic and the result is a

:18:15. > :18:21.penalty. At last. A second penalty for Owen

:18:22. > :18:47.Farrell. England are in the lead. There was height, from Toomua.

:18:48. > :18:53.Courtney Lawes takes it. He was trying to get to the ball.

:18:54. > :19:02.Interesting to throw a full back-up the restart. Aussie rules player.

:19:03. > :19:08.Used to going and catching. Youngs would have been one of the lifters.

:19:09. > :19:18.I think the chaser has every right to barge him out of the way? I

:19:19. > :19:30.agree. How long has this been a committee decision, just get on with

:19:31. > :19:38.it! Have we had a vote yet? Whatever happens in there, there is good

:19:39. > :19:39.space on this side where Genia is heading now. He has gone the other

:19:40. > :19:52.way. Great pass to Folau. Good driving with the legs by the

:19:53. > :20:11.second row. Genia checks on the whereabouts of

:20:12. > :20:36.Cooper, who is a long way back. How simple was that? Australia

:20:37. > :20:45.making the most of the midfield scrum. Here we go. That is a solid

:20:46. > :20:52.scrum. As soon as that slipped, England were in trouble will stop

:20:53. > :21:05.always on the back foot after that. This is just straight power play.

:21:06. > :21:13.Quade Cooper, deliverer of the cutout pass that put Folau in place

:21:14. > :21:18.-- space. That extends Australia's lead. Five players in the Australian

:21:19. > :21:49.line-out. Billy Twelvetrees penalised. Bad

:21:50. > :21:53.couple of minutes for the centre. Yes indeed, England looked like

:21:54. > :22:03.conceding ten points in five minutes.

:22:04. > :22:19.It is not the most relaxed pose is it? Great height on the ball. And

:22:20. > :22:55.the direction very good. The Australian lead is growing.

:22:56. > :23:32.Good work by Mike Brown. Always Forward pass.

:23:33. > :23:40.Good work by Mike Brown. Always makes ground carrying the ball. It

:23:41. > :23:44.may have been a stopping ball behind him. Actually, Toomua did very well

:23:45. > :24:05.in the tackle. Is there time for an England

:24:06. > :24:17.line-out? They need to get on with it quickly.

:24:18. > :24:24.That was a good take by Courtney Lawes. Moore has done well to get in

:24:25. > :25:05.for Australia. The whistle goes for half-time.

:25:06. > :25:10.Australia lead at the interval. This is a strange thing, far from the

:25:11. > :25:17.warmth of the changing room, Australia are out on the pitch at

:25:18. > :25:24.Twickenham at half-time. Once they were Warriors, the England World Cup

:25:25. > :25:34.winning squad of 2003. Jason Robinson looks like he still could

:25:35. > :25:45.be playing. Safely in the hands of Jonny Wilkinson. After the slow

:25:46. > :25:51.march of the winners of 2003, a decade later, can they put some zip

:25:52. > :26:01.into the England game? Australia are leading by seven points. Mike

:26:02. > :26:17.Brown, almost exempt yet again, from any criticism.

:26:18. > :26:28.Matt Toomua, the try scorer of the first half.

:26:29. > :26:38.Whatever England have to do in the second half, they have to do it

:26:39. > :26:43.quicker. They need momentum. They need to start with a tempo back gets

:26:44. > :26:49.the crowd on their feet. That allows them to get momentum and start going

:26:50. > :26:52.forward in the game. If Cummins had hung onto that, it could have been

:26:53. > :27:09.trouble. That was good chasing by Cooper and

:27:10. > :27:29.Toomua. Folau tried to come up for it.

:27:30. > :27:37.Twelvetrees could not take it. Everything has gone backwards.

:27:38. > :27:44.Twelvetrees could not take it. Billy Twelvetrees. The ball not

:27:45. > :27:50.going to hand. It just leads to a very static game. Dickson tries ..

:27:51. > :28:10.That has not done anything to add pace.

:28:11. > :28:37.That is very good work by Brian -- Brown.

:28:38. > :28:48.REFEREE: it was a late tackle by you. You have to be very careful.

:28:49. > :28:50.Let's have a look. If he hadn't made it quite so obvious, he might have

:28:51. > :29:14.got away with that. Unnecessary That is a let off for England, Quade

:29:15. > :29:19.Cooper misses for the first time. Ewen McKenzie will be disappointed

:29:20. > :29:22.because that would have taken Australia beyond 1's score. The

:29:23. > :29:40.crowd is now urging England. Again, it is a penalty against

:29:41. > :29:45.England. England are putting numbers into the breakdown, but some of them

:29:46. > :29:50.were not on their feet, I'm sure. Whilst you can praise the

:29:51. > :29:59.endeavour, the execution also has to be correct. Again, England find

:30:00. > :30:11.themselves on the back foot. Well done, Mike Ryan

:30:12. > :30:54.England have a reward, penalty near the half way line. Michael Hooper

:30:55. > :31:16.penalised. Into touch for Marland Yarde. What a

:31:17. > :31:24.great tackle by Adam Ashley-Cooper, that saved a try. Although the

:31:25. > :31:29.passing was absolutely full before then, at least we had a glimpse of

:31:30. > :31:39.what Marland Yarde can do if he gets the ball in a bit

:31:40. > :31:42.what Marland Yarde can do if he gets worry is not the blood to Adam

:31:43. > :31:58.Ashley-Cooper, there is a neck injury way down the pitch.

:31:59. > :32:09.Scott Fardy is off the field, the referee says he thinks it is

:32:10. > :32:19.precautionary. Let's hope so. James Horwill somehow wrestled that back.

:32:20. > :32:25.England will charge time. Try! Chris Robshaw, the captain! Quite rightly,

:32:26. > :32:56.they are going upstairs. That is good work by a combination

:32:57. > :33:01.of Tom Wood and Mako Vunipola. TMO: there is no reason you cannot award

:33:02. > :33:10.the drive. So, that is a score by the captain, Chris Robshaw. Chris

:33:11. > :33:25.Robshaw will be urging England to kick on my from that.

:33:26. > :33:36.Chris Robshaw was the quickest to react.

:33:37. > :33:40.Chris Robshaw was the quickest to the conversion. We

:33:41. > :33:53.Chris Robshaw was the quickest to Twickenham. Is this ball out of

:33:54. > :33:55.play? The ball has crossed the plea and of the line, and his feet were

:33:56. > :34:04.on the line. He was right. -- he was England have stolen it. Tom Youngs,

:34:05. > :34:51.I think. It needs to go wide. England are content to drive back

:34:52. > :34:59.Australia. That is a good kick and good awareness by Owen Farrell.

:35:00. > :35:04.England only had forwards outside. Australia were complaining about

:35:05. > :35:43.England'swork at the breakdown. So, the game from the kick by 2 --

:35:44. > :35:47.by Owen Farrell was about 50 metres. Dylan Hartley is on, as is Joe

:35:48. > :35:55.Marler. England are certainly on the front

:35:56. > :36:27.football good defensive work by Australia,

:36:28. > :36:44.but England come again. That was an excellent tackle by Matt

:36:45. > :37:06.Toomua on Chris Robshaw. Marland Yarde is in acres of space,

:37:07. > :37:34.on his own. Owen Farrell scores the second try

:37:35. > :37:34.for England! England take the lead. Australia

:37:35. > :37:40.for England! England take the lead. about an obstruction. Let's see what

:37:41. > :37:48.the referee says. REFEREE: could you check for an abstract -- for an

:37:49. > :37:58.obstruction, please? Australia were convinced there was one. They all

:37:59. > :38:08.turned round pointing. He is walking back. What do you think? Dylan

:38:09. > :38:21.Hartley in front of Owen Farrell. I would say try. TMO: not enough

:38:22. > :38:30.obstruction to disallow the try Try awarded. Dylan Hartley'sobstruction

:38:31. > :38:43.was not enough. We will now see a game, Australia will not be kicking

:38:44. > :38:51.the ball in the air any more. Australia will have to play. Good

:38:52. > :38:57.work there, Joe Launchbury to Chris Robshaw. I thought initially Mike

:38:58. > :38:59.Brown could have got the ball out, but I was wrong. Good opportunism by

:39:00. > :39:25.Owen Farrell. It is important for England's to be

:39:26. > :39:53.disciplined here. That is a

:39:54. > :40:01.Sitaleki Timani came flying in there! At least they had the decency

:40:02. > :40:04.to put his arms around him. I think that was OK by Courtney Lawes. That

:40:05. > :40:34.was OK. Trouble here frustrated. -- here for

:40:35. > :41:12.Australia. Somebody has to be back for

:41:13. > :41:21.Australia. I think Tevita Kuridrani got pressure on that. We will have

:41:22. > :41:25.to have a look. That is touched down. It only needs downward

:41:26. > :41:30.pressure, it doesn't need control. That will do. You could tell there

:41:31. > :41:37.was downward pressure because the ball squirted forward. REFEREE:

:41:38. > :42:18.was downward pressure because the score, 22.

:42:19. > :42:23.Quade Cooper did really well. That was developing into a sticky

:42:24. > :42:49.situation. This time Mike Brown doesn't make

:42:50. > :42:54.Brine, and gives away a penalty That is pure execution. There was no

:42:55. > :43:01.reason why Billy Twelvetrees didn't get that ball straight to Mike

:43:02. > :43:19.Brown. That is simple bad discipline.

:43:20. > :44:02.Ben Mowen clearly offside. England need a dip -- need a deep kick, get

:44:03. > :44:11.the line-out, pitted in the corner and run down the clock. That is the

:44:12. > :44:18.first time that we have seen Chris Ashton with the ball in hand.

:44:19. > :44:23.For a first run might for England, I'm sure they will be well

:44:24. > :45:14.satisfied. Great tackle by Mike Brown. And by

:45:15. > :45:27.Ben Youngs. Advantage to Australia. Cummins made the incision.

:45:28. > :45:37.Cooper did well to hang onto it Gets away from Ben Morgan. They have

:45:38. > :45:45.got to come all the way back. Gets away from Ben Morgan. They have

:45:46. > :45:53.Advantage has been played. The crowd don't like it, but George Clancy

:45:54. > :46:13.gave that a long time. They have gone for the corner.

:46:14. > :46:23.It is still on its feet. They are all in except for three outside

:46:24. > :46:35.backs. Robshaw has done well. Was that taken down? It would have been

:46:36. > :46:40.if I had been the referee. They will have to go through the forwards

:46:41. > :47:09.because England outnumber Australia in the backs.

:47:10. > :47:22.England rush back to make the tackles. Toby Flood was there. Was

:47:23. > :47:36.it a forward pass? Play on. Australia knocked on. Scrum down. It

:47:37. > :47:53.looked as though the slip of the law would cost them. -- Folau.

:47:54. > :47:58.get the penalty. Australia pulling. Australia don't know what is

:47:59. > :48:06.happening, they don't know why the referee is penalising them. The

:48:07. > :48:17.reason is, they cannot scrimmage. Courtney Lawes, important ball.

:48:18. > :48:24.The ball is going forward England. It is not a bad time to do it when

:48:25. > :48:46.you are trying to run down the clock. Less than minutes to go.

:48:47. > :48:56.In dishes in. Last chance for Australia. -- indecision. Tom Wood

:48:57. > :49:12.has been influential in the second half.

:49:13. > :49:22.Moment of the match for me, when he caught the ball behind will go near.

:49:23. > :49:41.-- Genia. Australia need to get this to

:49:42. > :49:48.ground. Still off the floor. Last 30 seconds. The job is not quite

:49:49. > :49:55.finished, but as good as. England have had a clear advantage. I bet

:49:56. > :50:06.this ball does not come out. I bet it is driven. Ben Morgan might just

:50:07. > :50:12.roll this forward. Good work by Farrell and Tom begins. Allowed

:50:13. > :50:26.others to get the ball in. -- Tomkins. They know how disastrous it

:50:27. > :50:37.might be. They are going for it The penalty. We are into overtime

:50:38. > :50:47.England can get this off the park and claim the victory. First half

:50:48. > :50:53.was languid. Second half was better. They were seven down at half-time.

:50:54. > :50:58.They prevented Australia from scoring in the second half and ended

:50:59. > :51:08.up winning by seven points. The autumn is off successfully. Talk us

:51:09. > :51:15.through the moment when you got the past, and you thought, there is a

:51:16. > :51:19.gap and you could go for that. I checked the space in front and I saw

:51:20. > :51:25.a gap open up and thankfully took it. What about the possible

:51:26. > :51:30.obstruction? He was trying to get back. He had run out of line before

:51:31. > :51:36.that and was trying to get back He did not step across anybody. There

:51:37. > :51:44.was only ever one score in it, what stage did you think you did not get

:51:45. > :51:47.this? The last two minutes. We were showing signs we could split them

:51:48. > :51:52.this? The last two minutes. We were open at any time.

:51:53. > :51:56.really well and showed good urgency. There was a moment in that much when

:51:57. > :52:01.you were outstanding. You must have thought, that was great? It is

:52:02. > :52:06.always great to play in front of this crowd. And when you get your

:52:07. > :52:13.hands on the ball it is good to show what you can do. I like playing

:52:14. > :52:19.fullback, I like counter attacking. Was that again that could have gone

:52:20. > :52:23.either way up the final whistle Possibly, it might have been a draw.

:52:24. > :52:29.It would have been an interesting outcome. It was a game of two

:52:30. > :52:34.halves. I thought we battled really well in the first half. We were

:52:35. > :52:40.battling for possession and opportunity. We were still leading.

:52:41. > :52:49.I was pleased with the effort. I thought we tackle very well. Scrum

:52:50. > :52:57.penalties were going their way in the second half. They kept us under

:52:58. > :53:03.pressure. It is a young team and we will learn from this. We have only

:53:04. > :53:07.been together nine days. It is a great start for us and plenty to

:53:08. > :53:14.build on for Argentina next week. Was there any impact from the 2 03

:53:15. > :53:20.boys? We had spoken all week about what they achieved and what people

:53:21. > :53:24.be us have achieved. It was about going out there and putting our mark

:53:25. > :53:30.on it and heading towards the 2 15 World Cup. We wanted to put in a

:53:31. > :53:38.performance they would be proud of. It was a nice thing to have them

:53:39. > :53:42.here today. They are getting the pitch ready for next week, for

:53:43. > :53:45.England against Argentina. But they came through safely enough,

:53:46. > :53:52.England against Argentina. But they Moody is here and Brian Moore. What

:53:53. > :53:59.England against Argentina. But they first game is to get a win. It was

:54:00. > :54:04.an average performance. By both sides. It was bitty and fractious.

:54:05. > :54:10.They have not played together for a long while. They were able to

:54:11. > :54:14.control things a bit better in the second half and the opportunities

:54:15. > :54:20.came for them. It is easy to nit-pick, but let's accentuate the

:54:21. > :54:27.positives. I thought the pluses with a breakdown. We had predict did

:54:28. > :54:30.Hooper would be a nuisance but they neutralised him by putting more men

:54:31. > :54:36.into the breakdown. The Australians were moaning about back to the

:54:37. > :54:40.referee. And George Clancy said if they come through the middle, and do

:54:41. > :54:53.it legally, they are entitled to do that. What about the England

:54:54. > :54:58.midfield? Owen Farrell's report with Billy Twelvetrees was nonexistent in

:54:59. > :55:03.the first half. It came alive a bit better in the second half. It came

:55:04. > :55:08.from the inside too. The wingers saw very little of the ball. Mike Brown

:55:09. > :55:14.was exemplary. Somebody else who had a good game, Vunipola at number

:55:15. > :55:22.eight. I first game at Twickenham, he was like a battering ram posture

:55:23. > :55:29.Mark watching him defend people off, Quade Cooper was the first one he

:55:30. > :55:33.tackled. He gives the team go forward off the line-outs. When you

:55:34. > :55:38.get into the opposition like that it is easy to bring the rest of the

:55:39. > :55:42.team into the game. It is not just he is powerful, he is intelligent. A

:55:43. > :55:47.couple of times he waited and watched and saw the gaps. It

:55:48. > :55:54.couple of times he waited and him go forward, so he has that

:55:55. > :56:00.aspect. What I liked is at the back of the scrum, and it looked like

:56:01. > :56:07.Dickson wanted to pick the ball up and play it, but he kept it in and

:56:08. > :56:11.we got the penalty. Although there is room for improvement, it was a

:56:12. > :56:37.win. The next game will be England against Argentina next weekend.

:56:38. > :56:41.What the Stuart Lancaster do for next week against Argentina, does he

:56:42. > :56:47.What the Stuart Lancaster do for next week leave it like it is? I

:56:48. > :56:52.think he will make a few changes because it is an opportunity to

:56:53. > :56:59.experiment. It will be interesting to see what he does in the centres.

:57:00. > :57:04.People like Burrell and Eastman are a consideration and they deserve a

:57:05. > :57:09.chance. We will see Australia a fair bit over the next few weeks, what

:57:10. > :57:14.did you make of them? In the first half they had the better of the

:57:15. > :57:18.opportunities. Australia has very good attacking players. It was

:57:19. > :57:27.disappointing not to see them used today. There try came from mistakes

:57:28. > :57:31.from England. Australia need to up their game, do what they do best and

:57:32. > :57:35.go out and play rugby. We did not see the best of them and England

:57:36. > :57:41.quite rightly, took the result. From a mental point of view, it is a

:57:42. > :57:46.great kick off to hopefully beat Argentina and then be in the right

:57:47. > :57:51.shape to face the All Blacks? You don't get momentum from losing.

:57:52. > :57:54.Whilst it was an average performance, a win against Australia

:57:55. > :58:00.Whilst it was an average is never unwelcome. On that positive

:58:01. > :58:03.note, we started talking about England's Autumn almanac and the

:58:04. > :58:15.first chapter is a positive one We will see you next week that the

:58:16. > :58:21.England against Argentina. All home nations next weekend. But from all

:58:22. > :58:50.of us here at Twickenham, good evening.

:58:51. > :58:55.In Hi, I'm Sam, with the Saturday sport on Three.

:58:56. > :58:58.Arsenal have extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a

:58:59. > :59:01.2-0 win over Liverpool. Chelsea are second, despite losing to Newcastle.

:59:02. > :59:05.And Man City thrashed Norwich 7 0. England got their Rugby Union

:59:06. > :59:07.campaign off to a good start. They came from behind to beat Australia

:59:08. > :59:10.in their opening autumn international. It finished 20-1 .

:59:11. > :59:13.In Rugby League, England got their first win of the World Cup. They

:59:14. > :59:15.hammered Ireland 42-0, scoring eight tries. Ryan Hall got a hat-trick.
