England v Australia Match Reports

England completed a 37-21 win over Australia at Twickenham in the fourth and final match of the 2016 Old Mutual Wealth Series. The win capped a remarkable year for England, in which they won all 13 matches under Eddie Jones. England got off to a shaky start and found themselves 10-0 down after only 15 minutes. A Jonathan Joseph try in the 30th minute calmed England's nerves and at half-time they were trailing by just three points. England then dominated the second-half with tries from Marland Yarde, Ben Youngs and a second for Jonathan Joseph. A selection of match reports is listed below:
