Summary

Thank you for joining me tonight. Let’s do it all again in Brisbane next weekend. Until then, here’s tonight’s match report, hot off the press. Tuck in to more from Rob, Gerard, and Angus during the week.

Dave Rennie: has had a word with Australian TV, glowing about his side’s character, and Noah Lolesio in particular, who was called up at the very last second when Quade Cooper tweaked his calf in the warm-up.

“We didn’t fire too many shots in the first half, but it was much better in the second half. Pretty comprehensive,” Rennie said.

“I thought we controlled things pretty well. The great thing about this group is we don’t panic. We’ve got some great leaders.”

“England will be better.”
