Australia sealed their 14th consecutive Ashes series triumph with a 14-4 victory over England in the second Test on Saturday, extending a run that spans 52 years.
Despite a spirited and more disciplined showing from Shaun Wane’s side following last week’s heavy defeat at Wembley, England failed to convert early dominance into points.
After both teams traded penalties, second-half tries from Cameron Munster and Hudson Young secured the win for the Kangaroos, whose resolute defence kept England scoreless from open play.
The result makes next week’s third Test at Headingley a dead rubber, with Australia chasing a 3-0 series whitewash.
