Ruthless Australia crush England

Australia expose England's fledgling tourists as they cruise to a 34-3 victory in Sydney in the first of two Tests.

interesting game, England had chances to make Australia pay for clumsy errors but they just never took the chances...

Wallaby defence was very impressive as was the performance of our scrums.

From the start you could see the difference in the style of play Connelly is grooming the team to use, while it would be expected to be different from Jones time will tell if it yeilds the results!

I don't think the score shows the effort they put in, the game was pretty physical. England at one stage wasted 20 phases, and while they didn't get a point out of it, it was certainly demanding physically of both teams!

Confidence going into the second game at Telstra Dome will be high for Australia but England need only win to keep the Cook Cup. To clean sweep it we will need to tighten up and stop those silly errors.

I think most of the mistakes were from a team who hasn't had much game time together, and could be excused this time for it!
