Australia vs England

Follow all the action from the first Test of England's summer tour.

Hill will sit down for ten minutes, Swain for the remainder of this game - and possibly the series. Australia knock on in midfield. Another penalty to Australia, this time bang in front, and I reckon we might just be all square at the half. Having lost Quade Cooper five minutes before kick-off, Dave Rennie has also seen Tom Banks and Allan Alaalatoa depart with arm and brain injuries respectively, before Darcy Swain’s moment of madness saw his evening ended by the flourish of James Doleman’s red card. It may be all square, but Australia are certainly up against it. For Australia, Quade Cooper was set to play his first Test since helping the Wallabies to a narrow win against Japan in October but after an injury in the warm-up it’s Noah Lolesio in the number 10 jersey.

Australia 6-6 England Australia 6-6 England 50 mins: England scramble to save the first maul, have a penalty and kick for another lineout.

Good rumble from Valetini and then Genge infringes, blocking White's pass, so Austraila will kick to touch, about 35 metres out.

Bends that in inside the left post and England take the early lead. England have certainly promised to ramp their attack up in this series but we'll believe when we see it. Now an advantage for hands in the ruck and after a drop, Australia stick that into touch on England's 22. Curry slashes through, good pass wide to Marchant and that's a super tackle from Koroibete to keep him out. Banks coming down after going for a high ball looks to have fractured his arm - Australian TV showing it twice which was not needed! Bit of kick tennis before Australia try to launch something within their half... Good turnover by the Wallabies on Smith who was a bit isolated, and now Australia clear. Australia five metres out, with an advantage, going wide but now backwards after a pass goes to ground. Outside the Wallabies' 22 and now England have an advantage for not releasing. England were poised to strike. And the maul delivers. High kick taken by Kellaway but he gets hammered by Cokanasiga, and then Ludlam turns the ball over...

While admitting he was under pressure with the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France approaching, Jones said he wasn't alone. Rennie also named David Porecki to make his test debut. "I think every international coach is under pressure," Jones told Australian Associated Press. "I'm under pressure because we haven't had results good enough, that's obvious.

Live coverage of the 1st Test between Australia and England. The hosts lost Quade Cooper to injury during the warm-up before having Darcy Swain sent off.

A chance for Lolesio to get the hosts on the board... 23rd minute: Excellent work from the Australia pack and England collapse the scrum. 13th minute: Farrell with the up and under, brilliant hands from George. England work possession back across the field. Banks comes careering over the top of Vunipola looking to retrieve the high ball and the fullback lands heavily on his arm.

Michael Hooper made a key break to open up that opportunity and the experienced flanker then took a shoulder to the face from Billy Vunipola. Out came the yellow card and England's man advantage was lost for most of what remained. 74th minute: Now it's the Wallabies' turn to throw in some scrappy nonsense as they make a mess of their lineout. Hill returned from the bin and was part of the rolling maul that went over with Ellis Genge in possession.

England open their Australia tour by falling to a dismal defeat against a 14-man Wallabies side in Perth, despite scoring two late tries.

Vunipola was then shown a yellow card for a dangerous tackle on Michael Hooper and in the aftermath Fainga'a peeled off a maul to score. With Australia down to 13 after Lolesio was sin-binned, Van Poortvliet scored a final try as the match finished with a 30-28 scoreline that did not truly reflect the scale of Australia's fightback. Prop Genge went over, then Farrell kicked a penalty and it felt as if England had control of the game, but Australia had other ideas. England's Jonny Hill was shown yellow at the same time after the lock pulled Swain's hair, which prompted the Australian to bump his head against the England man - a red-card offence. But Australia's victory ends England's run of eight consecutive wins against the Wallabies and is a fourth defeat in a row for Eddie Jones' side, including one non-cap fixture against the Barbarians. Lock Darcy Swain was shown a red card in the first half, with three other home players injured before the break.

I would love to see them have a go." But the commitment from the players is that we now need to win the series 2-1" - Eddie Jones "It is a tough old press pack out there. "Let's see what they do next week, let's see what they do the week after and then what they do in a year's at the World Cup. "Next week, I love all these kids, he might say if it were a World Cup final I would pick Arundell but there is no rotation next week, there is no chance next week, it is find a team to win." "I think he has proved on the big stage he is capable and I suppose in a long tour like this three games there is opportunity. "I think there is a problem on the back of the Six Nations if you come to Australia, and I am not sure where they are ranked in the world but they are definitely not top three and to lose 3-0, that becomes an issue." "Well we had enough moments in the game to win it but, at 14-9 with 20 minutes to go, we should have put that game away and we didn't do that so we are very disappointed in that," he told Sky Sports at full-time. "The message at half-time was to put more pressure on them and we did that in spurts but two or three times we were on their line and we didn't finish it off but Australia, on the contrary, whenever they got in our 22 they finished their movement off. "We had enough moments in the game to win it but at 14-9 with 20 minutes to go we should have put that game away and we didn't do that so we are very disappointed in that. "But the commitment from the players is that we now need to win the series 2-1. "Look, I don't comment on the referee, he called it [Swain's red card] that way and that is the way it is.

England collapsed to a fourth successive defeat as their magic touch against Australia deserted them in a 30-28 loss in the series opener.
