Eddie Jones’ woes continued as England went down to a 30-28 defeat in Perth despite Australia being down to 14 men for more than half the game during an incident-packed first Test.
The Wallabies had second row Darcy Swain red carded for a headbutt in retaliation to hair-pulling from his opposite number Johnny Hill on 34 minutes, with the sides tied 6-6 at the break. England went in front through a try from prop Ellis Genge after the break, but the hosts hit back as replacement full-back Jordan Petaia went over.
