Joe Cokanasiga is starting to make a name for himself in an England shirt…
England enjoyed a dominant 37-18 win over Australia at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon, and it was Bath winger Joe Cokanasiga who proved to be one of the stars of the show.
With the game in the balance as the hour mark approached, the hulking number 14 bagged his second try in as many tests in style, brushing off the attentions of experienced Aussie Dane Haylett-Petty – no pushover at almost 16 stone himself – to help send England on their way to a comfortable win.
Watch the ruthless finish below:
TRY! England score again with a fantastic finish from @JoeCokanasiga 💪

What a player Joe Cokanasiga is going to be with a couple years’ more experience under his belt. He and Sinckler have been absolutely outstanding today

Haha. It’s weird seeing someone being tackled but it doing absolutely nothing.

FT England 37-18 Australia. For third Test in four this autumn England come good after half-time. Kyle Sinckler and Joe Cokanasiga very good.

A bit of a shame we let that final minute try through, but great play from @EnglandRugby and Joe Cokanasiga especially #ENGvAUS #CarryThemHome @BathBytes
