England player ratings vs Australia.
England overcame a slow start to secure a comfortable 37-18 win over Australia at Twickenham, but who stood out? RUCK marks every player after their impressive win on home turf.
15 Elliot Daly: Showed poise and skill throughout, scored a brilliant try and was unlucky not to get another. 8/10
14 Joe Cokanasiga: The star of the show. Bagged his second try in as many tests in impressive style. The powerful winger is well on his way to making the England wing position his own. 9/10
13 Henry Slade: Quieter than his usual self, but still played his part in a fine England performance. 6/10
12 Ben Te'o: A solid if unspectacular performance from the former Rugby League centre. 6/10
11 Jonny May: Set the tone by scoring England's opening try. Largely unchallenged in defence but calm when called upon. 7/10
10 Owen Farrell: An imperious performance as we've come to expect from Farrell. Made his usual impact in attack an defence after a somewhat scrappy first half from England. The ultimate international rugby player, scored a well-deserved try late on. 9/10
9 Ben Youngs: A quiet game from the Leicester man, England hit another gear when he was replaced by Wrigglesworth. 5/10
1 Ben Moon: Part of a dominant England scrum which helped set up a raft of opportunities for the home side. 7/10
2 Jamie George: Found it difficult to assert himself but grew into the game in the final quarter. 6/10
3 Kyle Sinckler: Full of hard work throughout, stood up to the Aussies when the game was in the balance. One of England's best on the day. 8/10
4 Maro Itoje:
Usual workmanlike performance, but needs to improve his discipline to kick on to the next level. 5/10
5 Courtney Lawes: Showed flashes of skill and ferocity in defence. Would have been a far closer result without his presence. 7/10
6 Brad Shields: Failed to have any notable impact on the game. 5/10
7 Sam Underhill: Put in his fair share of hard work throughout, subbed off late on. 6/10
8 Mark Wilson: One of England's late bloomers, the Cumbrian forward didn't put a foot wrong; an excellent all-round performance. 7/10
