Aus Schools lose one, win won
Australian Schools are not finding their tour of the UK and Ireland all sunshine and roses. They have hit rotten weather and have lost three of their five matches. Of the three 'Tests' they have played they have lost two.
Now the Australian boys head for Ireland three more matches.
After losing to Wales A and Wales, the school side played England Under-18.
England Under-18 vs Australian Schools, 23-3 on 4 December 2013
The match was played at the great Harrow School in North London watched by roughly a thousand spectators.
At half-time England led three kicks to one, 9-3. But late in the second half England scored two tries, both goaled.
Sadly two players, one from each side, were sent to the sin bin for backchatting the referee.

After 20 minutes the Australian boys led 9-0 from three penalties and the Scottish No.8 was in the sin bin.
Two tries – by powerful centre Tepai Moeroa and fullback Andrew Kellaway extended the visitors' lead to 23-0, which was the half-time score.
Two second-half penalties increased the lead to 29-0 before Magnus Bradbury scored a try for Scotland.
