England 37-42 Australia: Max Jorgenson scores last-gasp try to snatch victory

England’s autumn campaign drifted further off track as Australia stunned Allianz Stadium by landing the decisive blow in a 42-37 barnstormer.

England had led by 12 points and then trailed by 10 in a see-sawing encounter, but Maro Itoje’s 78th-minute try seemed to have settled matters by moving the hosts 37-35 ahead.

But, in the final play of the match, Len Ikitau found space and fed replacement wing Max Jorgenson, who scampered in, launching into a celebratory dive in front of the stunned stands.

After last weekend’s loss to the All Blacks, England have lost six of their 10 matches this season, including each of their past four. It is their worst run of results since 2018.
