England 12, Australia 10

It was a tightly contested match, which each side spending only about 5 minutes of gametime within the opposing 22-metre. There was only the one try, from Lote Tuqiri (who's quite fast) put Australia into the lead in the first half, but Australia kept giving up penalties. The deep and precise kicking threat from Jonny Wilkinson kept the points ticking over, and in the end it was enough.

England now go through to the final four, where they will face either France or New Zealand.
