When England finished their 2016 series in Australia with a flourish, they had a backline with an emphasis on ball-handling rather than manhandling. The England head coach, Eddie Jones, has gone back to the future with the World Cup now nine matches away. It took England until the second-half, as it had against South Africa and Japan, to achieve cohesion. England have been handicapped by injuries this month, but that has given Cokanasiga his opportunity. Then came Cokanasiga before Farrell made the game secure with a penalty and concluded it with his side’s fourth try.
