England lost the opener in Perth two weeks ago but recorded back-to-back wins in Brisbane and Sydney to secure a second consecutive three-test series victory in Australia. “They were talking smack about us,” Lawes said. “We saw plenty of stuff in the press from their players and what they were saying – some people targeting and some people calling us Poms and what-not.“That motivated us a bit but the boys stuck together, stuck to our guns. We didn’t fire that many shots tonight but we found a way to win. That’s the big improvement.”
The series win was England’s second over the Wallabies in Australia since Eddie Jones took over, the ex-Japan coach securing a 3-0 victory during his first tour in charge in 2016.“We don’t talk about those things, honestly,” he said. “We’re just worried about ourselves. “Maybe with the senior players we spoke about it. We’re a young team and we just want to look after ourselves.”“I wouldn’t say they’re smack if you read the comments made,” he said. “It’s a bit of by-play post the result I reckon.” (Reporting by Michael Church in Hong Kong,
