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.

Follow Australia vs England live below! The first Test of a three-match summer series begins between old rivals in Perth this morning. 40 mins: Australia boot for a lineout midway inside the England half with the clock in the red. Penalty! 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...

"I'm sure Australia won't be encouraging too many lineouts in the game. Jones has gone with flanker Courtney Lawes as the England captain despite Owen Farrell's return.

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.

“Full credit to Australia,” said the downbeat England captain. He helps the team with the red card,” Jones said. “We started the game well. Our coaching staff did a great job of managing the game.” “We’ll have a decent look at the footage and work out how we’re going to appeal that. “You can’t script that stuff. What we know is that we just have to work harder. “I’m disappointed that we’ve lost. “I’m not sure if it was a team plan, but there was certainly provocation there. We found a way. We’ve got a committed group of players, a committed coaching group. We’ll have decent look at the card.

England were unable to capitalise on a numerical advantage as Australia took a 1-0 lead in the series with a 30-21 win.

Couldn’t get close to Samu as he sealed the win. Carried in the shadows of the posts but hit hard and turned over. His kicking game was also on the money to allow England to challenge in the air. He was hooked just as the game turned in the hosts’ favour. The Sale man regularly found space in the 15m channel. Less impactful after the break, except when he clattered Hooper’s jaw and saw yellow to cancel out the numerical advantage. An indifferent first half put behind him as the Premiership-winning captain drove over early in the second period. Part of the successful 2016 tour as a rookie, now an established first choice, and a try scorer this time. Stepped in early on Kellaway as he freed Petaia for the Wallabies’ try. However, the hosts mounted a stunning riposte to record their first win over England in nine attempts. Showed some deft touches in the first half. Needed help from his mates in the pack.

England were toppled 30-28 by Australia in their first Test in Perth, but the scoreline masks a myriad of shortcomings from Eddie Jones' tourists as they ...

Injury after injury has robbed Jones of his most potent strike weapon and the aim of using wing Joe Cokanasiga to make up for the power deficit was limited by the Anglo-Fijian’s inability to impose himself. It is still early days, but the creative axis formed by Owen Farrell and Marcus Smith is misfiring. England’s head coach has asked for patience, most notably over an impotent attack that functions sporadically and is wasteful, but with recent results compounded by the team looking a disjointed mess in the final 20 minutes at Optus Stadium, patience continues to ebb away.
