Greenwood's Favourite 5 - 20th June

Will Greenwood picks out his five favourite moments from an exciting weekend of Test rugby.

Where else to start but in Melbourne where England made history by beating Australia 27-3 and wrapping up the series with one game still to go.

While England were beating Australia and claiming the No 2 position in the world, the team who are above them were in fine form against Wales. New Zealand also wrapped up their series with one game to go with a 36-22 win over Warren Gatland's men.

It was a welcome return to form All Blacks full-back Israel Dagg, who looked back to his very best after missing out on World Cup selection due to lack of form.

Over in South Africa, Ireland are still in with a shout of making history despite the Springboks leveling the series on Saturday. It looked like Ireland would also wrap the series up a game early as they powered to a 19-3 lead at half-time. But inspired performances from replacements Warren Whiteley and especially winger Ruan Combrinck turned the tide the way of the boks. All to play for next weekend!
