Very impressive display on Saturday, and an astonishing turnaround in the team's performance since the RWC. Eddie Jones may be a genius.

Got lucky. Most of the decisions went England's way. Haskell should have had a yellow card and the Aussies were so arrogant they turned down several kickable penalties.

Nat.  You make your luck in sport.

However, don't forget that the other Captain Cook got eaten by the natives in the end...

As Andy said.

Eight wins out of eight and a first-ever series win in Oz. If I had that kind of luck I'd've won the EuroMillions by now.

And Jess and Victoria would be very lucky women...
