The Aussies were in complete control in game 1 and put on 26 points despite a poor completion rate and a couple more scoring chances left begging. They have weapons all over the park and even with a number of first choice players out, still do not seem to have a weak link in their lineup.
England will need to figure out a way to break the flow and structure that the Aussies create in their footy. Too often were the Poms forced to use their kicking game to get out of trouble and they found themselves in a relentless tug-of-war that they were never going to win.
Australia will not need to change much in their attack and with those 80 minutes under their belt will likely tidy up the mistakes and miscues that saw them make so many errors. Also with an NRL referee incoming, the flow and speed of the game is likely to be on Australian terms.
Australia will win and secure the series but given the large line the tip is instead to take the Game Total Over, England to go Over their Team Total and once odds are released Mark Nawaqanitawase to score for the Kangaroos.
- Australia have gone Under this Game Total in 5 straight but had gone Over in 7 of the 8 games prior.
- England had scored 14+ points in 16 straight games prior to last weekend’s loss and haven’t had back to back single digit games since 1980-81
- Mark Nawaqanitawase led the NRL in tries this season with 25 in 24 games.
- Mark Nawaqanitawase scored 8 tries in his last 3 regular season games.
Head to Head
There have been 26 games played between Australia and England since 1909 with Australia holding a 17-7 lead in the head to head. Australia have won 14 games in a row dating back to a double test series in England in 1995.
Australia won 26-6 in their first match up last weekend.
England Form Analysis
Not a great deal can be said about England's performance in the defeat to the Kangaroos in game 1. It was clear that they were often a step behind the Aussies in speed and structure aswell as determination.
NRL stalwart Herbie Farnworth was one of the better players on an otherwise sour afternoon for the English, he ran for 123 metres, the most of anyone on his team while also making 16 tackles.
England had to use their kicking game to create metres but were starved of scoring opportunities throughout the contest. 43 missed tackles didn’t help to keep the momentum in balance as they were forced to do more tackling than their counterparts.
Post Contact Metres were a problem for England as Australia opened them up on multiple occasions while also getting offloads away.

Australia Form Analysis
Australia were electric in their first Ashes Test victory over England last weekend 26-6. Reece Walsh and Angus Crichton scored 2 tries each and it was until the final minutes that England were able to cross for their only points of the match.
The Possession and Territory were slightly in the favour of the Aussies and they racked up 1446 Run Metres with 9 Linebreaks. They still made 12 errors in the game, completing at just 66% which will disappoint the leaders but there were a number of individual performances that stood out.
Reece Walsh was everywhere, following up from his majestic Grand Final appearance for the Broncos, Mark Nawaqanitawase topped the metres tally with 215 in his debut while Hudson Young made 34 tackles in the back row.
The Australian spine clicked into gear and they were clinical in their relentless attack on the Poms.
Australia Team News
Only the one change for the Aussies with captain Isaah Yeo sidelined with concussion protocol. Lindsay Smith is the addition to the 17 on the bench with Pat Carrigan moving to lock and Lindsay Collins to the starting side.
