England Beat Australia 45-22 to Start the Season

England beat Australia 45-22 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham. Steve Borthwick's side had to win this test and left the field as winners, starting their autumn Six Nations campaign with a record-points victory.

Winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso injured his ankle in the first half and carried on limping until half-time. Henry Pollock came on in his place and played on the wing. Pollock's first carry on the wing took him about 10 metres forward, into Australia's half. That move led to England's fourth try, scored by Jack van Poortvliet after a pass from Tommy Freeman on the right wing, which secured the bonus point.

Pollock then scored two wing tries at the end of fluid attacking moves run by Fin Smith. Within two minutes, those two tries effectively ended the contest.

Pollock is known as a very mobile back. His breakdown skills and pace make him valuable to England. Borthwick sees his ability to play on the wing as a major plus. However, the choice of a 6-2 split on the bench makes injuries in the backline a significant concern.
