Winger Jonny May scored twice as England underlined their RWC2019 credentials with a dominant 40-16 win over Australia, nickmulvenney reports
OITA, Japan - Winger Jonny May scored two tries in three first-half minutes as England underlined their World Cup credentials with a dominant 40-16 win over Australia on Saturday to set up a semi-final against New Zealand or Ireland.
Australia played a full part in an engrossing contest but in the end were well beaten by a team who defended stoutly, took their chances ruthlessly and had a flyhalf in Owen Farrell who managed the game maturely and kicked flawlessly for 20 points. “We know when we have field position we can be pretty dangerous. We did what was needed. We had the lead and Australia were throwing everything at us again. We wanted to play the game at our pace and we did that in the second half.”
“Congratulations to England for a good win. We are really upset, we emptied into this and didn’t get it. We are gutted.” Australia went straight back on the attack but a David Pocock pop-pass went through the hands of Lealiifano and Henry Slade swooped onto the ball, the centre racing 40 metres before putting May into the left corner again with a neat grubber kick.
Another England double whammy almost immediately put the Australians on the back foot again, however.
