Max Jorgensen’s last-gasp try gave Australia a dramatic 42-37 victory over England in a frantic see-sawing Test match in Twickenham on Saturday.
England flanker Chandler Cunningham-South went over twice in the first half, either side of a Noah Lolesio penalty for Australia, before the Wallabies hit back with tries from Tom Wright and Harry Wilson to lead 20-18 at half-time.
Jeremy Williams bundled over and Lolesio kicked another penalty to bring up 18 unanswered points and make it 28-18, before substitute Ollie Sleightholme’s first two international tries dragged England back into a 30-28 lead.
