RUGBY UNION Guy Pepper believes England have uncovered a potent weapon after their “bomb squad” turned the tide in Saturday's 25-7 victory over Australia at Allianz Stadium.

Pepper ready to bomb on for England

Five British and Irish Lions forwards, including veterans Ellis Genge, Tom Curry, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Will Stuart, were brought on in the 52nd minute when the hosts’ lead was just 10-7 and the Wallabies were duly overpowered.

Of the starting pack, only emerging Bath flanker Pepper and captain Maro Itoje completed the match as England made effective use of a tactic that was originated by South Africa at the 2019 World Cup when it was given its nickname.

“It's class - potentially England's bomb squad! The impact they brought to the game was massive and was crucial in seeing it out,” Pepper (pictured) said.
