Pollock shines as England beat Australia 25-7 in Autumn Nations Series
Rising star Henry Pollock came off the bench to score a key try as England began their quest for an unbeaten Autumn Nations Series campaign with a 25-7 win over a lacklustre Australia at Twickenham on Saturday.
England, despite dominating territory and possession, led just 10-7 at half-time through a George Ford penalty and Ben Earl's converted try, before Harry Potter's superb solo length-of-the-field intercept score got Australia back into the match.
And it wasn't until the 59th minute of a scrappy encounter that England scored the first of 15 decisive unanswered points.
Pollock, a 20-year-old back-row, crossed for a third try in two Tests for England after a double off the bench on debut against Wales in Cardiff in March.
Further tries late on from scrum-half Alex Mitchell and replacement hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie then gave England a decisive victory.
