Itoje 'over the Moon' After England Dominate Australia
England produced their biggest-ever points total against Australia as Henry Pollock scored twice and the Wallabies could not build momentum.
- On Sunday, England defeated Australia 45-22 at Twickenham, scoring seven tries in a record points total against the Wallabies before nearly 82,000 fans.
- The victory eased pressure on England head coach Steve Borthwick after reports this week of a "toxic environment" within the squad, which captain Itoje and other players denied.
- Back-Row Henry Pollock scored twice after replacing injured wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso at half-time, while Itoje topped tackle charts with 16 and England completed 80 minutes without a yellow card.
- Australia captain Harry Wilson admitted the team "struggled to get our game going," marking their third consecutive defeat as head coach Les Kiss cited an error-strewn performance.
- With three wins from four Nations Championship matches, Borthwick's side prepares to face Japan next weekend to maintain momentum after this breakthrough performance.
