England Set to Complete Perfect Year

image England Set to Complete Perfect Year
England have plenty of regrets over the last time they took on the Wallabies at Twickenham. They were hosting the World Cup but saw their hopes of glory dashed with a 33-13 defeat.

What a difference a year or so makes, now England are on an unbeaten run of 13 games and are heavy favourites to get the win against an inconsistent Australian side. A win here will complete an amazing year in which they have played 12 games and won each and every one of them and it’d be their fourth straight win over their rivals from Down Under who have had an inconsistent year.

Match Result

England just keep on winning and although they still have to prove that they could give New Zealand a challenge, they have the measure of Australia.

England Rugby

Since that costly defeat in the World Cup last year, England have played and beaten Australia on three occasions. All three of those games took place in Australia, a great achievement for England who are now coached of course by Australian Eddie Jones. Of the last six internationals between these two sides, England have won five. Typical of an England side to lose the one that really mattered!

It’s been a rather troublesome year for Australia with eight defeats this year. Earlier in the year they lost five in a row to England and New Zealand. Last weekend saw them defeated by Ireland so form coming into this game is in no way outstanding.

Handicap

England made history earlier in the year when they travelled down under and won all three Tests against Australia. Those three games were won by a total of 31 points, the last Test being a narrow win by four points but before that England had won by 16 and 11 points.

Aside from a good win against Wales, their tour has seen Australia win over Scotland and France by an aggregate of three points and a three-point loss to Ireland last weekend. They have suffered some heavy defeats by New Zealand this year and lost by eight points in South Africa.

England have shown plenty of attacking flair in recent games. Go for England to win this on a -9 handicap, that’s .

Half Time/Full Time

England have been in dominant form all year and it doesn’t seem to take them too long to get the upper hand over sides that they play. With home advantage, they are likely to be on the attack right from the start. They piled up the points in the first half in recent games and a bet on England to be ahead at Half Time and Full Time looks one that could be lucrative. That’s available at .
