Wallabies launch Suaalii era with glorious England win

It gave Joe Schmidt's side a thoroughly deserved 42-37 win, Australia's first victory over England at Twickenham since their World Cup triumph nine years ago.

It concluded a sensational match in which the hosts looked as if they had snatched victory when Maro Itoje went over for a converted try in the 79th minute, just four minutes after Andrew Kellaway appeared to have won it for the Aussies with a break from his own half.

Aukuso-Suaalii's eagerly awaited debut in his first rugby union match since he was a schoolboy five years ago featured a few fleeting moments of brilliance from the young $5 million cross-code recruit as he helped set up one of Australia's five tries in the first half.

Tom Wright, captain Harry Wilson, lock Jeremy Williams were the Wallabies' other scorers as they ended a three-defeat sequence in encouraging style with some brilliant attacking.
