HT: England 0-8 Australia
Australia
Australia acting captain Harry Grant, speaking to BBC One: "Patience is something we've spoken about all week. We've had plenty of opportunities and need to make sure we execute. We need to keep it nice and simple in the second half."
There is a number of things England will be pleased with, but they're a a bit scratchy. The quicker they settle themselves into the game, build a cycle and put some attrition into the game [they will score].

England captain George Williams, speaking to BBC One: "I think we need to be more patient. Australia are too good of a team to give them that much of possession.
"Disappointing, but we're in the game - plenty of time yet. If you're in an arm wrestle and you give them cheap ball it becomes difficult."

Unfortunately TMO doesn't look at forward passes. It only looked at the obstruction and grounding. It's completely up to the ref and touch judges to call forward passes and if you speak to Super League fans, this has been a problem that has existed for a while.

The referee needs help ...lots of Australian off the ball dark arts going on here.

I love that from Herbie Farnworth. He pops up on the left-hand-side and he's been given a free license to attack anywhere on the field. He is almost like a second full-back.

Am I seeing things, or was there a massive forward pass in that try? Thrown from behind the 10m line, caught five yards in front of it!

What were the officials looking at in that Australia try? Clear obstruction/block in the build up and a glaringly obvious forward pass at the end! Paul

The obstruction for the Aussie try was open to interpretation, what was binary and should have resulted in the try being disallowed was the big forward pass.
George Williams elects to run the ball on the fifth tackle and Jake Wardle evades his marker before Reece Walsh gets across to knock on and save Australia.
