Sarah Rendell’s match report has landed so I’ll take my leave.England were good enough, without being brilliant.And Australia held on to avoid a shock group stage exit.It’s wasn’t pretty.Both teams gave away plenty of ball.

But it had its moments.Thanks for joining me.Catch you tomorrow.England’s Morwenna Talling to BBC Two:This crowd was incredible.Australia came out firing.

But it’s just amazing.The atmosphere here now [is amazing].Women’s rugby, there’s 30,000 people here.We get presents all the time now.It’s a privilege and an honour to be part of it.

Next on the mic is Sadia Kabeya who bagged two tries for England:We got the result in the end.There was no barking at half-time.We had trust in the plan.We just went out and did what we could do.We’ve got huge carriers in the pack.

We’ve got threats across the park.Hopefully that performance shows that our pack should be feared.Here’s skipper and player of the match, Alex Matthews:I’m just so proud of the girls.We didn’t have momentum in the first half.We stuck to the task and showed we could do it.

Our line-out didn’t function how it normally does.Australia kicked well.But the girls stuck together and the subs were phenomenal.We’ll rest up, see some family and go again.They play Scotland in the next round.

Ruby Tui, speaking for the BBC post match, called that an “incredible” match.It wasn’t.It really wasn’t.And I know that Ruby is a gem, that her vibe is always upbeat, and that slagging off players is an ugly look.But can we be real?England have played plenty of incredible games.

The Australia v USA and the Italy v South Africa games were incredible.Do we have to big up every match in this tournament? Is that not condescending? Am I just a grumpy git?All opinions welcome.While we ponder that and more, let’s have some reaction from the players.That’ll be that.Australia have seen enough and kick it out after winning a scrum late in the piece.

They’ve done enough to reach the last eight.England top the group but they really need a proper 80 minute performance.Sterner tests await.The Aussies gave it their best shot but couldn’t match the accuracy and power of the English.Not a classic, but one with plenty to chew on.

79 min: Australia intercept.England steal the ball back.Been one of those games.Hardly any fluency.England are searching for another try.

Harrison shows some slick hands, catching on her laces and off-loading.Down down the right.She’s had a great game.Matthews finds Ives Campion on the angle.Into the 22.

Harrison has numbers out to the left, spirals a long pass for Feaunati, but the replacement loosie can’t hold on and drops it close to her ankles.77 min: Australia survive inches from their own line.After giving away an off-side penalty, they saw England win the line-out and then make ground through cohesive play.Rowland has had a handy cameo and was involved again, playing a tasty inside pass.But the Aussies waited for their moment and swamped the ball carrier to win the penalty on the ground.

A big kick from Halse will set the line-out beyond the 22.74 min: Australia really haven’t helped themselves.Another giveaway at the line-out has England on the ball once again.Ooh, but that’s a great turnover.But England are screaming back at them with Rowland on the counter run.

Things are really frazzled out there but the English keeo the ball.A lovely pass finds Breach and she’s on her bike down the right.But, you guessed it, there’s a knock on in midfield.72 min: Ah, Australia can’t make it work from the line-out in England’s 22.In the blink of an eye they’re chucking possession away and the English are tearing down their right wing after pinching the set-piece.

.A kick ahead from Breach, after finding space, bobbles out of touch.Did that take an Aussie hand on the way out? Nope, Australia’s ball inside their own half.All you can ask for from referees is consistency.Maleka was yellow carded.

So is Bern for a similar high shot.Shoulder to head.England must see this out with 14 players.71 min: Australia should have enough in the bank to see this out.They’ll stay on the ball thanks to a high shot from Bern, who could be in trouble.

That looked dangerous.69 min: Australia are not going down without a fight.They get lucky from the restart and bag a soft penalty.From the line-out they come close, inches in fact, but the English force them back.So Australia recycle, left then back towards the right where Stewart has space to put the afterburners on.

She’s darting for the corner but is chopped in half by Rowland on the cover and shoved out of touch.Nine phases but no dice for the Aussies.Australia’s margin for error is getting smaller and smaller! They can afford to lose by 76 and still make the quarters.They now trail by 40 after Bern kept the move alive down the right following a burst from Dow.Bern picked up, pinned her ears back and darted for the line.

She was cut down just short, but was able to reach out and score.Harrison has her radar after losing it earlier in the piece.This is a well taken conversion on the angle on the right.65 min: England’s tenacity at the breakdown sees them with a penalty.The then secure the line-out but can;t sticth the move together as they then return the favour, failing to keep the ball on the floor.

This is a case of two teams making loads of mistakes.The theme continues as Australia chuck the ball away at the line-out so they’re now back inside their 22 with Dow almost scoring down the right touch.63 min: England give away possession at the line-out.They’ve not been perfect, that’s for sure.Australia are running ewith intent but can’t breach the blue wall.

A raft of changes for both teams, including Aitchison on for Heard and Packer on for Hunt.61 min: Australia are creaking now.They’ve overshot a line-out and then given away another penalty from the resulting scrum.This one for not binding correcvtly.Harrison punts the ball out upfield.

Sneaky sneaky from the prop! England opted to tap and go from the penalty.Hunt shifted it right for Clifford who hit the ball at pace.She had two tacklers for company and seemed to be held short of the linbe, but she wriggled her body, freed her hands and managed to dot down beneath the morass of humanity.Lovely work.The conversion from bang in front is good.

58 min: England go to the back of the line-out where Ward makes the grab.They maul from there and eat up 10 metres, taking them to within touching distance of the line.Australia rally and swamp the ball carrier at the back, preventing the ball from being released and they come away with possession.That’s wonderful defence from the Australians.Though they now need to win the scrum.

They can’t.Another enormous scrum from England wins the ball back just five metres short of the Aussie line.55 min: England are looking sharp now.A swift attack down the left with Heard running a lovely loop round the back has Dow in some space.She gets through the gears and in a flash England have made around 40 metres
