LONDON (Reuters) -England turned to their "Bomb Squad" to get their Autumn campaign off to a convincing start with a dominant 25-7 victory over a tired and toothless Australia at Twickenham on Saturday and make it eight wins in a row.

Leading 10-7 in the second half, the introduction of five British and Irish Lions forward replacements helped England add tries through Henry Pollock, Alex Mitchell and Luke Cowan-Dickie to give the scoreboard a more accurate reflection of the game.
