50th min Finally Australia force a line drop out. Now the Australian fullback makes ANOTHER error. First tackle. Difficult conditions but Tesi Niu is having an absolute shocker.

55th min Looks like Niu has been hooked. Star Toa has gone to fullback. Makes an immediate long break. Australia get a couple of penalties... now knock on first tackle in the red zone.

Australia has barely had the ball but the England forwards are really dominant.

62nd min TRY AUSTRALIA to Crichton in the corner. Finally. Moving Toa to fullback has made a world of difference. Jock Madden on the sideline... cannot convert.

England 14-4

70th min Australia cost again by the wrong option on the last. Kicking game is poor. Australia has had a few try scoring opportunities but couldn’t get over.

Now England force another line drop out at the other end.

England bomb a try but time is going to run out here for Australia.

76th min Tommy Talau drops it early in the tackle count, but England follow with their own error. Stupidly, Australia is wasting time with some carry on.

England get a 40/20... but the set ends with a knock on. Australia nearly are away on the last play through Crichton but it breaks down in the end.

FULL TIME

England Academy 14
Australian Schoolboys 8

Two tries apiece but well deserved win for England in difficult conditions.

A lot of ill feeling at the end, with lots of pushing a shoving. England certainly have been niggling through the match.

That’s all we have for tonight! Next Test is Saturday morning 6:30am AEDT.

MATCH REPORT: England win first Test

Harry Smith scored ten of England's 14 points in a Man of the Match performance as Dave Elliot's men secured a 14-8 win over the Australian Schoolboys at Leigh Sports Village on Saturday. England led 12-0 at half time and Smith added a penalty soon after the restart to make it 14-0.

Australia struck back with unconverted tries from Stephen Crichton and Timanu Alexander but time ran out for the men in green and gold.

England Academy 14

Tries: Harry Newman, Harry Smith

Australia hold the out, but now lose the ball on their own 10m line first tackle.

Certain England try BOMBED in the most spectacular fashion. Wide line open for the winger, Senior. Dropped ball one metre out.

17th min TRY AUSTRALIA Great work! Dearden kicks ahead and the chase through is perfect. Star Toa the try scorer. Crichton converts from close to the posts. It was Australia’s first real chance in the red zone.

England is winning this in the middle. Their forwards are big and run hard and tackle hard. They’re dominating the Australian pack.
