Watch: Israel Folau hits dream line, laughs at England fullback Daly before scoring
By Online Editors
In the absence of David Pocock, fullback Israel Folau proved he is one of the few world-class players in the Wallabies when he exploded through the English defence to score shortly before halftime.
The Waratahs fullback hit an expertly timed flat line outside the pod of forwards to knife through against the grain, similar to the damage he caused in the second half performance against Argentina in Salta.
He veered past feeble tackles from halfback Ben Youngs and flyhalf Owen Farrell before running rings around England fullback Daly, turning to laugh at the 15 as he put his head down in dispair.
The under-fire fullback scored two tries in the 37-18 loss, after being in serious doubt for the clash with a mid-week virus.

McKenzie is better than Barrett , but not better than Richie Mo'unga. Richie regularly outplayed DMac in Super Rugby. , as he did in the 2023 Final in Hamilton. I remember the 2021 Aotearoa Super Rugby Final here in CHCH. Mo'unga took him to the cleaners. McKenzie is a fine footballer , but at best a hybrid 10 . Fergus Burke , ( now playing in England ), who made a big difference when he came back late in the Crusaders season , is a better 10 than DMac. I also think 140 game + Crusader Matt Todd was always a better no 7 than Sam Cane.A big part of 3 title winning teams when South African teams were still in the comp. How many titles did the Chiefs win in that period of time?
