The Wallabies have recorded a famous 30-28 win over England in a wild encounter at Optus Stadium.

This is Australia’s first win over England since the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

They powered home with a brilliant second half display.

The hosts lost Quade Cooper before the game, pushing Noah Lolesio into the starting side and James O'Connor onto the bench.

This was compounded by the loss of Tom Banks to an apparent broken arm after a gruesome collision. The horror half continued with Darcy Swain sent off for a headbutt.

However, Australia refused to give up, with three second half tries securing the win and ending England's recent run of dominance.

Jordan Petaia, Folau Fainga’a and Pete Samu scored a try each for the Wallabies while England’s tries were scored by Henry Arundell, Jack Van Poortvliet and Ellis Genge.
