SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: England opened their QBE Internationals campaign with a hard-fought 20-13 victory over Australia at Twickenham yesterday, though Wallaby coach Ewen McKenzie was left fuming after a mistake by the touch judge led indirectly to the hosts game-changing opening try. Also: Andy Murray has revealed that the fear of being branded "unpatriotic" led him to risk his vulnerable back during the Davis Cup tie in Croatia in September - and thus move further down the road to surgery.
THE OBSERVER: The 2003 World Cup-winning squad's lap of honour at half-time inspired England to come back and beat Australia to extend their winning run here to five matches, a feat last achieved in those heady days 10 years ago. Also: Jose Mourinho claimed to have "made 11 mistakes" when it came to team selection after Newcastle ended his Chelsea side's nine-game unbeaten run.
THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY: Chris Robshaw and Owen Farrell each scored their first tries for their country as England kicked off their autumn international programme with a 20-13 win over Australia at Twickenham. Also: First the early-season surge. Yesterday came the landmark victory over one of the early title contenders. Arsene Wenger has been told in recent weeks that his Arsenal side must prove themselves against the Premier League's form teams and, at the moment, one can ask for little more than a victory over the swashbucklers of Liverpool.
THE SUNDAY TIMES: Long after the end, Coldplay's Paradise blasted out across Twickenham as they presented a non-trophy to mark England's successful start to the autumn campaign. Also: November was supposed to be the start of a six-week period that tested Arsenal's credentials as possible Premier League champions.
