England 26 Australia 16

England regained the Cook Cup for the first time since 2003 with victory over Australia at Twickenham.

Ben Cohen, making his first Test start in over a year, and Mark Cueto scored the tries while Charlie Hodgson contributed 11 points from two penalties, a drop goal and touch-line conversion.

The Wallabies hit back from 13-6 down to level the game at 16-16 with a try from Drew Mitchell – but Olly Barkley’s 50-metre penalty and Cueto’s score five minutes from time sealed the win for England.
