And that’s half-time. An almost perfect 40 minutes from England but with the clock in the red, they concede a frustrating breakaway try to Max Jorgensen to give the Wallabies a sniff.

However, that shouldn’t take away from all the good in that first half. They’ve totally controlled the game and Manny Feyi-Waboso has been the msot dangerous player on the pitch whenever he’s touched the ball. Three tries and even with that late blow, they’re in a great position

Horrible echoes of the last two years for England with an Australia wing racing away for an intercept try. Harry Potter’s snatch and score proved the only points the Wallabies mustered 12 months ago, but that feels more significant – England dominated that half, really, and will be desperately disappointed to so softly turn a sizeable advantage into something more slender in the flash of a poor Jack van Poortvliet pass.

A worry, too, is that Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is quite badly limping down the tunnel. He hasn’t appeared at all fit since that Angus Bell tackle, with Australia unable to get the ball out to that wing to test him. I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if he re-emerges.

Out of nowhere! And shades of two years ago as Max Jorgensen scores an intercept try!

The Wallabies have offered next to nothing this entire half but they’re back in the game on the stroke of the break. Jack van Poortvliet with a lazy pass to his left, Jorgensen spots it, grabs the interception and races 50 metres for the score.

Jorgensen’s first Test try broke England hearts as he surged away down the left flank with the clock in the red to win the game here in 2024 and his 11th gives his side a shot.

Conversion added and Australia head to the break somehow within nine points

What is Declan Meredith doing?! The Australian fly half is so casual in chasing back a kick through and Tommy Freeman sneaks up on him with the ball in the in-goal area.

The England winger dives round his opponent and gets hands on the ball but kncks it on as he tries to dot it down. Close to disaster!

Australia have a lineout in the England 22. A great chance but they execute poorly and England turn it over. They run from deep before winning a penalty and now have a platform in opposition territory

The foul play review officer has looked at Angus Bell’s hip-drop tackle and determined it will stay a yellow. No upgrade to a 20-minute red, which I think is fair.

I don’t think the Wallabies have had a single carry in the England 22 yet. Or very few at least. They at least have some ball in the England half here but it’s very narrow and static. England’s defence is well-drilled.

England are FLYING now! Australian ballast in the sin-bin and England take advantage.

The maul from the lineout marches forward and inwards before the Wallabies finally stop it a couple of metres short. But Joe Heyes is alert, takes the ball from Jamie George, breaks off the side and surges to the line, diving over for a third try. Class.

Fin Smith adds the conversion. Superb half from England

There’s the first penalty for a hip-drop tackle in Test rugby. World Rugby have cracked down on the technique, which can cause serious injury – the fact that it was indirect contact, and without huge force, should mean that it is just a yellow for Angus Bell.

Fortunately for England, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso appears to be carrying on – remember, Henry Pollock is their wing cover today...

Yep. Referee Pierre Brousset determines it is a hip-drop tackle, so Angus Bell is sin-binned. Aussies down to 14.

Feyi-Waboso is back up on his feet at least
