Wallabies Face England at Twickenham on Sunday
Australia looks to bounce back from two Rugby Championship-style defeats to New Zealand with a Nations Championship clash against England.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Australia and New Zealand
The Wallabies prepare to face England at Twickenham in a Nations Championship match on Sunday, 8 November 2026. The fixture follows two defeats to New Zealand and comes after Australia's winless 2025 tour of Europe.
Why it matters
Australia's recent record at Twickenham has been mixed, with a last-gasp 42-37 win in 2024 followed by a 25-7 loss in 2025. The result will shape how the Wallabies' current tour is judged after a difficult run of Test matches.
Twickenham holds 85,000 spectators, and Australia's 2024 win there ended 42-37 after a last-gasp try. The 2025 tour was the first winless Wallabies tour of Europe in 67 years, and the outcome of Sunday's match is not yet known.
The players
Max Jorgensen
Jorgensen is a 22-year-old Wallabies winger whose 2024 try at Twickenham became a defining moment for the team.
Les Kiss
Kiss is the current Wallabies head coach, leading the team through its Nations Championship campaign.
The details
Max Jorgensen, 22, scored an 84th-minute try in 2024 that sank England at Twickenham after receiving a backhanded flick pass from Len Ikitau. Australia is reviewing its defeats to New Zealand in intensive sessions and is targeting victories in all four tour Tests, according to Angus Bell.

Travel Outlook
The Wallabies' 2025 tour was the first winless Australian tour of Europe in 67 years, so the England match is a test of whether the team can recover that form. Sunday's fixture at Twickenham, which holds 85,000 spectators, will shape how the rest of the Europe tour is viewed.
Fans planning to attend a Test in London should book Twickenham tickets early, as the stadium holds 85,000 spectators. Travellers should also allow time for the trip from central London, as match-day crowds around the ground are typically heavy.
The takeaway
Following a team's form across a full tour can reveal more about its prospects than any single result. Watching how the Wallabies respond to England will show whether their recent defeats were a setback or a turning point.
What happens next
Australia's remaining tour Tests in Scotland and Wales will follow the England match.
