Wallabies European tour considered the worst in decades

The Wallabies have completed their worst European tour in almost a decade after being beaten by England 26-17 in their season‑ending Test at Twickenham this morning.

Australia fought hard in a classic two‑tries‑apiece encounter played in front of more than 82,00 fans but the dominance of England's almighty scrum proved too much to handle.

England No.8 Ben Morgan scored tries in either half, with both coming on the back of attacking scrums with the home side's backs capitalising on their forwards' dominance with a smart kicking game.

The Wallabies' tries came through five‑eighth Bernard Foley and substitute Will Skelton but the defeat means they've lost three Tests on a spring tour for the first time since 2005.

Meanwhile, Wales brought an end to 15 years of hurt at the hands of South Africa when they won 12-6 this morning.

A crowd roar that threatened to lift the closed roof greeted Wales' first win over the Springboks since 1999, and only the second ever in 108 years.
