England down Wallabies to stay unbeaten in 2016

Jonathan Joseph scored two tries as England beat Australia 37-21 at Twickenham on Saturday to complete an unbeaten 2016.
Their fourth victory over the Wallabies this year, following a 3-0 series win in Australia in June, was especially sweet for England coach Eddie Jones. England's Australian boss had been depicted as a clown in Saturday's edition of The Australian newspaper.
But he was the one smiling at the end as England equalled their national record of 14 successive Test wins - a mark set in 2003 when they won the World Cup final against an Australia side coached by Jones.
Saturday's win was all the more impressive as England were 10-0 down early on against a fired-up Australia side.
Bernard Foley's penalty was followed by a converted try for wing Sefa Naivalu, one of four changes from the Australia side beaten 27-24 by Ireland last weekend.
England, however, recovered to lead 13-10 after two Owen Farrell penalties and Joseph's converted breakaway try. But two more Foley penalties gave Australia a narrow interval advantage.
Early in the second half, England hit back with a Marland Yarde try before Ben Youngs's quick-thinking dart saw the scrum-half go over as well.
Inside centre Farrell kicked 15 points as he landed all six of his goal kicks.
