It was a close and fiery battle in the first half that saw the sides go in 4-4 at the break, two penalties from the boot of Nathan Cleary and two from Harry Smith the only scoring.
That fieriness did result in early cards being shown though in the third minute with Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Dom Young sin-binned for an early scuffle.

However, in the second half Australia took control, tries from Cameron Munster and Hudson Young putting them on top.
Even with Reece Walsh in the sin bin high with 15 minutes to go for a high challenge on Young, England could not find points and fell to a 14-4 defeat and series loss.
It means England now head to Headingley on Saturday November 8 looking to ensure they do not endure a series whitewash.
