Rugby-Pollock double as England outclass Australia with record win

Henry Pollock ​scored two tries ​off the wing ‌as a ​rampant England secured a record 45-22 bonus-point victory over Australia ‌in the Nations Championship at Twickenham on Sunday. Pollock, who replaced the injured Immanuel Feyi-Waboso at halftime, powered ‌over the line twice in quick succession after ‌tries by forwards Jamie George, Ollie Chessum and Joe Heyes gave the hosts a 19-10 lead at the ⁠interval.

Australia ​had grabbed ⁠a lifeline when winger Max Jorgensen took advantage of an ⁠interception to sprint over before the break but Jack ​van Poortvliet finished off another fluent passing ⁠move to extend the hosts' lead early in the second ⁠half. Pollock ​touched down twice in two minutes and although Australia fought back with tries from ⁠centre Filipo Daugunu and flanker Jeremy Williams, replacement scrumhalf ⁠Ben Spencer ⁠added England's seventh try to rack up their highest score against the ‌Wallabies.
