Read our privacy policy England head coach Eddie Jones remained tight-lipped about the controversial Owen Farrell challenge which denied Australia a game-changing try moments before the break here at Twickenham. Farrell went unpunished while the referee ignored Australia’s remonstrations to review the incident, with Matt To’omua kicking the three points to draw the score level at 13-13. Speaking after the match, Jones refused to be drawn on the challenge – one which Michael Cheika, Australia’s head coach, later insisted should have been punished with a penalty try. Tries from Elliot Daly, Joe Cokanasiga and Owen Farrell, following Jonny May’s third-minute score, ultimately put the game to bed – though Australia were handed a late consolation try from Israel Folau, his second of the game.
