Richard Wigglesworth on for Ben Youngs at scrum-half for England.

Lovely flat pass from Ford followed by a great missed pass which leads to Australia conceding a penalty.

#RugbyWorldCup #ENGvAUS Again England concede a penalty at the scrum. Weren't England meant to be the better team in that department?

Marler is taken off, which was probably wise, given the way the scrum was going. Ford kicks England into Australia's 22m, and the Twickenham crowd ROARS!

England butcher their best chance of the game but in fact Australia are penalised for an infringement. Did Foley knock the ball forward deliberately?

Video ref says it was not deliberate and the crowd do NOT like it. They were baying for a yellow card and 10 mins in the sin bin.

Scrum England on the edge of Australia's 22m. They must get points from this but the scrum is disrupted. England perhaps a little fortunate to get the put-in again.

Wow, these guys in the yellow and green are pretty good. Almost as good as the ones in black with a white feather on the chest #RWC2015

Anthony Watson goes over in the corner after faster ball from England, driven forwards by Ford's urgent short passing, creates the overlap. Watson barges over the covering defence to give his Bath team mate Ford a chance to convert.

"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" is belted out by a capacity crowed. In fact Farrell takes the spot kick and England are back in it at 10 vs 20 for
Australia.

This #ENG performance is Lancaster's entire tenure in microcosm: how many kneejerk changes can England make in one game? #tinkerman #RWV2015

After a bit of kicking ping pong, England get the ball into touch just over the half-way line. Tom Youngs goes off, Rob Webber comes on for England

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 8:25:11 PM
Is that a turnover I see? from England. First one

England disrupt Australia's lineout but again fail to capitalise as they are penalised for holding on at the breakdown.

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 8:25:59 PM
Get discipline by Australia, who are keeping their cool
