England passed their first serious test of the autumn as an incisive first-half attacking performance paved the way for a 32-15 victory over Australia.

Full-back Freddie Steward sliced through for England's first try after just six minutes.

James O'Connor's boots kept a dogged Australia in the fight, cutting the hosts' lead to 16-15 after the break.

But as the game got scrappy, England crept clear via a series of penalties before replacement hooker Jamie Blamire took advantage of some tired, stretched defence to motor in for his sixth try in just four Test appearances in the final passage of play.
