Max Jorgensen’s last-gasp try secured Australia a dramatic 42-37 victory over England after a remarkable contest at the Allianz Stadium.
Chandler Cunningham-South scored twice in the first 12 minutes for England, who moved into a 12-point advantage before Australia hit back through Tom Wright and Harry Wilson.
Noah Lolesio’s penalty on the stroke of half-time saw Australia take a 20-18 lead into the break and they briefly moved 10 ahead after Jeremy Williams’ early try, only for England to hit back with a brilliant double from replacement Ollie Sleightholme.
Andrew Kellaway’s breakaway try for the visitors was cancelled out when Mario Itoje scored late on for England, which Marcus Smith converted to give the hosts a slender lead, only for Jorgensen to finish a wonderful passing move and complete an incredible win.
