PLAYER RATINGS: Where did it go wrong?

In a game littered with errors, England coped better with the conditions and ran away with the game at the end winning 30-6, taking their points when they could.

Robert Seltzer rates the Australian players!

15 Kurtley Beale: 

Sin binned in the first half and at fault for Daly's try.

4/10

14 Marika Koroibete:

Should have scored in the first half but mis-controlled the ball on his foot, superb defensively superb line from inside ball from Beale and unlucky not to score.

8/10

13 Tevita Kuridrani: 

Another good performance, always willing to get on the ball. Great kick through nearly led to a try in the first half, bombed a try after fine work from Kerevi.

6/10

12 Samu Kerevi: 

Great break in the second half and worried the defence at times. Still too easy to defend against at international level.

6/10

11 Reece Hodge:

Another quiet display from Hodge. Good long-range penalty but didn’t see much of the ball.

6/10

10 Bernard Foley: 

Decent game from the flyhalf, but he didn’t get his backline going forward as much as he would have wanted.

6/10

9 Will Genia: 

Not as influential as last week but very calm at the base.

7/10

8 Sean McMahon: 

Very solid defensively, won penalties at the breakdown. Strong with ball in hand.

8/10

7 Michael Hooper: 

Try disallowed in the first half, usual work rate, sin binned for second week in a row.

6/10

6 Ned Hannigan: 

Busy again went off injured at half-time.

6/10

5 Blake Enever:  

Struggled with pace of the game, didn’t show much in the loose.

5/10

4 Rob Simmons: 

Decent enough 80 minutes without doing too much.

6/10

3 Sekope Kepu:

Solid at scrum time with Sio and more prominent in the loose this week.

7/10

2 Tatafu Polota-Nau:  

Line-out didn’t function as well as it has in recent weeks.

6/10

1 Scott Sio: 

Would have been targeted at scrum time but was very solid in the set piece.

7/10
