England shows major improvement in 45-22 win over Australia

England's rugby team secured a 45-22 victory over Australia in the Nations Championship, marking a record points tally against the Wallabies, according to BBC Sport.

Matt Dawson, England World Cup winner, reflected on the game in his column, noting England's accuracy, discipline, and creativity during the match, as reported by both BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports.

Dawson highlighted that England's performance was a considerable step up from their earlier matches in the Six Nations and the Nations Championship games over the summer.

While some critics questioned Australia's performance, Dawson suggested the result was more a reflection of England's strong play rather than Australia's weakness.

The England team appeared motivated and focused, partly galvanized by previous media criticism, which contributed to their intensity and discipline on the field.

This victory is seen as a positive way for England to start the autumn series following a break and earlier challenges in the year.
