England
Elliot Daly 7 He may move back to the wing when Anthony Watson is fit. Daly has had a mixed month but he picked a nice line to score a superb try after the break that turned things England’s way.
Joe Cokanasiga 7 Made a try-scoring debut against Japan but this was always going to be a tougher proposition. Chris Ashton’s replacement took his opportunity with a dramatic impact after the break.
Henry Slade 6 The Chiefs man has had an unspectacular series with few chances to demonstrate smooth passing and running skills but was good defensively and has a much improved kick-chase game.
England overwhelm careless Australia with Kyle Sinckler power game
Ben Te’o 6 The Worcester Warrior showed his strength with some bullocking runs and was always forceful despite a lack of rugby this season. Effective partnership with Slade.
Jonny May 7 Returned to the left wing and made an instant impact with a well-taken early try in the corner. An inch away from scoring another spectacular one in the second half.
Owen Farrell 8 At the centre of controversy again. Lucky not to concede a penalty try with a shoulder charge on Adam Coleman on the stroke of half-time. Otherwise led by example.
Ben Youngs 6 England’s most-capped player against Australia followed an outstanding display against the All Blacks with another smooth display behind a dominant pack.
Ben Moon 7 The Exeter Chief has solved England’s loosehead crisis this autumn and will be reliable cover for Mako Vunipola come the Six Nations. Another solid afternoon’s work.
Jamie George 7 Picked ahead of Dylan Hartley at last and soon found his range at the lineout. Played an important role in England’s scrum dominance and looks to have nailed down the No1 No2 slot.
Kyle Sinckler 8 A real force in the loose, showing his strength with a number of charges and played a big role in a dominant English scrum. England’s best tight-head this month.
Maro Itoje 7 The Saracens lock got stronger as the game wore on and was a real force in the loose and setpiece. Good breakdown work but continues to give away soft penalties.
Courtney Lawes 6 Moved back to the second row after an outstanding display at No 6 last week. Forged an effective partnership with Itoje and strong in the lineout.
Brad Shields 7 Worked relentlessly and asked a lot of questions of the Wallaby defence after the break. Effective at the lineout and made a dozen tackles in wholehearted display.
Sam Underhill 7 The Bath flanker was unable to impose himself as dramatically as he did against the All Blacks. He got through a lot of work before being replaced by Nathan Hughes late on. Impressive.
Mark Wilson 8 The tough Newcastle back-rower has been a real bonus this autumn, filling a large Billy Vunipola/Nathan Hughes hole so effectively that it will be difficult to leave him out in the Six Nations. A No6 role could be the answer.
REPLACEMENTS Dylan Hartley (for George 71) 5, Alec Hepburn (for Moon 68) 5, Harry Williams (for Sinckler 64) 6, Charlie Ewels (for Lawes 77) n/a, Nathan Hughes (for Underhill 75) n/a, Richard Wigglesworth (for Youngs 57) 6, George Ford (for Te’o 75) n/a, Manu Tuilagi (for Slade 68) 7.
Australia
Israel Folau 7 His recovery from illness was vital to the Wallabies and he showed his class with a lovely step to carve up the England defence for a try just before the break. Had the last word with another try.
Dane Haylett-Petty 5 Almost gifted England an early score with a loose kick but recovered to cross for a disallowed try. Good in attack, not so clever in defence.
Samu Kerevi 6 The powerhouse Reds centre avoided controversy after the collision that flattened Leigh Halfpenny a fortnight earlier and this time used his muscularity legitimatelyto keep the English defence honest.
Bernard Foley 5 Forced to play in an unusual position in the centre but England’s nemesis at the last World Cup gradually faded.
Jack Maddocks 5 The strapping 21-year-old had his work cut out keeping Cokanasiga quiet. Maddocks, who scored a try against the All Blacks recently, did just that but was taken off at the interval.
Matt Toomua 6 The Leicester Tiger produced a decent performance playing out of position. His place kicking and defensive work were sound.
Will Genia 4 The scrum-half reached a century of caps but played better in most of his previous 99 Tests. An oddly ineffectual gameafter leading the team out.
Scott Sio 5 Sio makes his weight count in the loose but Australia struggled badly in the scrums and the loose-head is not a great scrummager. Ill‑discipline let him down.
Tolu Latu 5 He made a number of good tackles but as the Australian scrum was obliterated the hooker faded from view. Replacement Polata-Nau was much more effective.
Sekope Kepu 6 Gave away an early penalty but a solid enough display. Worked tirelessly and made some neat breaks before half-time
Izack Rodda 6 A safe bet at the lineout for the Wallabies but gave away a penalty for an illegal tackle on Daly. Saved a late try with a tackle on Te’o.
Adam Coleman 6 Towering second-row partnership with Rodda and a threat with the ball. Will not have liked being denied a try by Farrell’s challenge.
Jack Dempsey 6 Impressive particularly when the Wallabies came back into the game in the second quarter. Made some good carries and a number of tackles when his side were overrun.
Michael Hooper 6 His breakdown expertise was even more crucial given Pocock’s absence and the captain was Australia’s best forward.
Pete Samu 4 He was always going to have a difficult time against a rampant English back row and never picked up the pace of the game.
REPLACEMENTS Tatafu Polota-Nau (for Latu 49) 6, Jermaine Ainsley (for Sio 67) 5, Allan Alaalatoa (for Kefu 57) 5, Ned Hanigan (for Samu 57) 5, Nick Phipps (for Genia 68) 6, Sefa Naivalu (for Maddocks ht) 5.
