Wallabies in danger of losing Hanigan to ambitious French club just as forward enters his prime
Ned Hanigan is one of the in-form forwards in Australian rugby who looks set to finally turn promise into quality on the international stage,…
The Wallabies continue their end-of-year tour with a blockbuster clash against England at Twickenham. The match will start at 2am (AEDT) on Sunday, November 19.
This is the third match of the Wallabies’ international tour, with two good wins to start, they will look to continue their good form against Eddie Jones’ England side and snap a four-game losing streak against them.
Australia has not won a match against England since the Rugby World Cup pool stages, while England will be hoping to equal their longest winning streak against the Aussies of five games.
England defeated Australia in four consecutive matches in 2016 – clean-sweeping the Wallabies 3-0 in a June tour of the nation, and then beating them again in Australia’s 2016 Spring Tour.
The sides have met a total of 48 times, with the Wallabies winning 25, England 22 and one draw. Of those 25 victories, Australia has won 11 times in England, 10 at Twickenham.
