## Article

England beat Australia 45-22 at Twickenham in the Nations Championship on Sunday, BBC Sport reported. Henry Pollock played on the wing and scored two second-half tries after coming on as a substitute. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso also featured prominently in the victory. England scored seven tries in the record-breaking win against Australia. The match marked England’s record points tally against the Wallabies.

## Why it matters

Matt Dawson, an England World Cup winner, wrote in his BBC Sport column that the win was a very positive way for Steve Borthwick’s side to start the autumn series.

Dawson cited the break England had taken and how the beginning of the year went as context for the result. He said England were very accurate, very disciplined, creative and genuinely did not give Australia a sniff.

Dawson said it was a massive step up from the Six Nations and even from the Nations Championship games in the summer.

A couple of days before the Australia game, Jamie George said the England team had been galvanised by a newspaper article which claimed the end of their summer tour had been marked by player unrest over head coach Borthwick’s leadership.

Dawson explained that inside international camps, teams stay tight and do not let anybody in, which makes them sensitive to criticism but draws them together and creates more determination and drive to be successful.

He said England’s intensity, accuracy and discipline were all on display, qualities that had been highlighted over the past nine months as things England had been lacking.

Dawson added that the opposition was dangerous with good individual players, but from the off England’s tactics were spot on, their decision-making was controlled, and they looked like a very well-drilled side.

England’s back three of George Furbank, Tommy Freeman and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso caused plenty of problems for Australia, but Dawson said Fin Smith and Henry Slade should also be included in that assessment.

## What happens next

England will continue the autumn series. BBC Sport did not give the date, venue or opponent for the next fixture.
