There was no need for Eddie Jones cam this week; it was his opposite man who self-combusted at Twickenham.
Wallaby coach Michael Cheika fumed as his side had two players sin-binned, two tries disallowed and watched every key decision go against them.
At one stage, the Australian even found himself shouting down a supporter in the crowd.

Referee Ben O’Keefe – a Kiwi eye doctor – was the talk of the town as England picked the winning lottery numbers to secure their 21st victory in 22 games.
Do not be fooled by the scoreline; This was far closer than it looks. Cheika first flashed up on the big screens when Michael Hooper’s try was disallowed after 27 minutes.
He clapped sarcastically down the camera, saying, ‘Well done referee. Well done referee.’ And his frustrations grew as his two star players – Hooper and Kurtley Beale – were shown yellow cards.
Engand forced the first penalty after seven minutes, with Hooper not rolling away, and Owen Farrell opened the scoring on an afternoon of one-way traffic on the scoreboard.
There was an intent to England’s early play – compared to the blunt display against Argentina – and No 8 Nathan Hughes knocked back the giant Wallaby midfield.
Australian half-backs Will Genia and Bernard Foley made handling errors, while Ben Youngs injected pace with kick tap penalties to speed up the tempo.

The scrums were a steaming inferno which barely moved an inch, with locks Courtney Lawes and Joe Launchbury leading the charge.
Yet England had just three points to show for their lively start – before Sam Underhill was forced off with injury – and soon faded. Maro Itoje replaced him from the bench after 17 minutes and Jones’ daredevil back-three often ran into trouble.
Jonny May was turned over as he tried to run the ball out of his own 22 – but Foley shanked the subsequent penalty. Australia left points on the field. Tevita Kuridrani kicked the ball behind the English defence but Hooper was penalised by O’Keefe, who claimed the No 7 had strayed offside.
After 33 minutes, England tried to bludgeon their way over the Wallaby try line. They were met with stiff resistance but, once again, Hooper strayed offside and O’Keefe sent him the skipper to the sinbin – making him the most yellow carded player in Test history.
Suddenly the game opened up and, in a mad scramble, Kurtley Beale knocked down May’s pass to Jonathan Joseph. The outcome? Another yellow card – but England did not capitalise.
Rather than pass to May on the outside, Itoje took the ball straight into contact and Australia pulled back three points as Reece Hodge slotted a penalty from half way.

The visitors showed more invention in the second half but came second best on the scoreboard. Kuridrani knocked the ball on after a break by Samu Kerevi and, within seconds, England had touched down at the other end of the pitch.
Ben Youngs booted the ball downfield and it appeared to brush the touchline, but Elliot Daly fly-hacked it forwards and – after intervention from the TMO – the try was awarded.
Surely, at some stage, the Wallabies would get the rub of the green? No, it was not their day. O’Keefe will hope his flight back to New Zealand does not stop off in Sydney.
After 70 minutes, Marika Koroibete had another try controversially disallowed – for obstruction by Stephen Moore.
The visitors lost spirit and the floodgates opened in the final eight minutes. Jonathan Joseph, who had a quiet game, touched down Danny Care’s kick and, after 79 minutes, the scrum-half turned provider for May.
And Care fulfilled his role as ‘finisher’ with aplomb, blowing the scoreline well out of proportion with a fourth try in overtime.
