Following a 25-17 victory for England over Australia in their July international, here's our five takeaways from the match in Brisbane on Saturday.
Nowell was a pain in the Wallaby side all day, often doing the work of an openside flanker, sometimes doing the work of a right wing and occasionally doing the work of a number eight. Against the very best teams 14-point margins can be overturned in the modern game now and England need to work out a way of scoring bigger points. Both teams have a number of injury bulletins to sweat on, with Maro Itoje being top of the list of the players Jones will want to get back. All of their momentum came from direct flat running from the nominated carriers and there was no chance to see the free running of Freeman and Henry Arundell in any sort of space or backline move. The opening half saw England look a lot sharper in foot and mind that last weekend, with debutant Jack van Poortvliet starring and making great decisions at a high tempo. It was a win based upon doing everything slightly better than last week, with the rolling maul and breakdown physicality the hallmarks of their victory.

Rather nervier for England than it looked like it might be after a dominant first half, but Eddie Jones’ side cling on and take the series to a decider. “We have been working hard to get our strategy right and get used to playing together. Discipline being one, and just to be able to get the momentum back a bit quicker. “England came out really hot, it was tough to stop them in that part of the game,” the Wallabies skipper begins. The way we started the game was outstanding. A few injury worries for both sides ahead of the decider in Sydney next week.

The question is whether they'll be able to keep it up. It goes without saying that he smashes it home from the right of the posts. Truth be told that was lucky and England needs to find a way of balancing this power whilst keeping their discipline. He went for an interception from a Marcus Smith pass but it's ruled to be a deliberate knock-on and England have another penalty. England have been brilliant so far today but it's a concern that Australia managed to score the first time they got into the red zone, and it looked easy. A brilliant performance in the first half will be slightly soured by the scoreline. The 19-year old London Irish wing made an immediate impact last week, scoring a try with his first touch and setting up another. He leaves the field on a cart and that looked like it could potentially be a very serious knee injury. It's clear immediately that it's serious and the medics are on the field within seconds. Hill leaps to grab the lineout and the subsequent maul showcases England's power. It's not quite as dynamic of a start to this game for Arundell as it was last week. The Aussie front row collapse the scrum and England have a penalty.

Time for an England player to head to the bin! All the momentum is with the Wallabies. And they kick to the corner! The Wallabies kick to the left corner. The Wallabies recycle patiently but fluff their lines when O’Connor fails to pop the inside ball to Koroibete on the burst and England escape.
