England vs Wallabies Result: England Win 45-22

England beat the Wallabies 45-22 at Allianz Stadium Twickenham on Sunday 8 November, scoring seven tries to three. It was England’s highest score against Australia, and it kept the Ella-Mobbs Trophy in England. Jamie George scored first from a rolling maul after seven minutes and Ryan Lonergan kicked a penalty, but Ollie Chessum and then Joe Heyes, from another driving maul, crossed before half-time. Angus Bell was sin-binned for a hip-drop tackle on Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, and Max Jorgensen’s intercept try just before the break left England 19-10 up at half-time.

Jack van Poortvliet scored two minutes after the restart, and Henry Pollock, playing on the wing after coming off the bench, scored twice in three minutes to make it 38-10. Filipo Daugunu, sent over after quick hands from replacement flyhalf Ben Donaldson, and Jeremy Williams, who dived on a Maro Itoje drop, scored for Australia, but Ben Spencer intercepted a Daugunu offload for England’s seventh try. Fin Smith kicked five conversions; Lonergan and Donaldson converted two of Australia’s three tries.

How our tip went: our tip, England 13+ in the winning margin market, landed with a 23-point margin. It was the Wallabies’ third straight defeat, and they have conceded 138 points in those three Tests.

What it means: England move to 15 points, level with Ireland and two behind France in the Northern pool. Australia stay third in the Southern pool on 8 points, but South Africa and New Zealand both have 20 after four rounds, so the Wallabies can no longer finish in the top two. They play Scotland at Murrayfield next, at 2:10am AEDT on Monday 16 November: our Wallabies vs Scotland tips. The updated tables are on our Nations Championship hub.

Wallabies vs England tip

Our tip: England 13+ (winning margin). No price is quoted: we had no dated price from our bookmaker partners when this preview was published on Monday 2 November.

England are the side to be with at home. They have won eight of the last ten meetings, and each of their last five home wins over Australia (2016, 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2025) came by 16 points or more. When the teams met at Twickenham last November, England’s bench pulled them clear from 10-7 at half-time to win 25-7. They were also strong in July after a 45-21 loss in Johannesburg, putting 73 points on Fiji and winning 31-24 in Argentina.

The Wallabies arrive having conceded 50 and 43 points in their last two Tests, both heavy losses to New Zealand, and their defence has not held up against top-tier attacks this year. That is why we prefer England by 13 or more to the short head to head price.

The risk: Australia scored 18 tries across the three July Tests, beat South Africa 42-38 in Perth in September and won 42-37 at Twickenham in 2024, and they have Taniela Tupou back on a heavy bench. England are close to full strength, with Maro Itoje back and Fin Smith fit, which supports the margin tip. If you want a safer play, use England head to head as a leg in a multi.

Australia vs England rugby head to head

England lead the all-time record 29-27 with one draw from 57 Tests, and the recent run is theirs: eight wins from the last ten meetings. Australia’s two wins in that run were 30-28 in Perth in July 2022 and 42-37 at Twickenham in November 2024, when Max Jorgensen scored in added time.

 

Form: the Wallabies and England in 2026

The Wallabies have played ten Tests in 2026: five wins, a draw and four losses. The July Nations Championship window brought narrow defeats to Ireland and France and a rout of Italy. Under new coach Les Kiss they then swept Japan, won the series in Argentina and beat South Africa, before the All Blacks beat them twice in the Bledisloe Cup.

 

England’s July window in the Southern pool: lost 21-45 to South Africa at Ellis Park, beat Fiji 73-8 and beat Argentina 31-24 in Santiago del Estero. That left them third in the Northern pool on 10 points, two behind France.

What the Test means for the standings

After the three July rounds South Africa and New Zealand top the Southern pool on 15 points each, with Australia third on 8. In the Northern pool France lead on 12, from Scotland on 11 and England and Ireland on 10. Each team plays three more Tests in November, then meets the side that finishes level with it in the other pool at the Finals Weekend at Twickenham (27 to 29 November). A win with a bonus point would keep the Wallabies in touch with the top two; a loss all but ends their hopes of a top-two finish. Full tables and fixtures are on our Nations Championship hub.

Team news

Both teams were named on Friday 6 November.

Wallabies: two big locks, McReight’s 50th Test

Les Kiss has picked Reds pair Josh Canham and Lukhan Salakaia-Loto to start together at lock for the first time, so Jeremy Williams moves to blindside flanker and Rob Valetini goes to the bench. Fraser McReight plays his 50th Test, and Angus Bell and Billy Pollard return to the front row, with Taniela Tupou back on the bench. Declan Meredith keeps the No. 10 jersey: Carter Gordon (back from a broken leg) and Tom Hooper (shoulder) are being held back for Scotland next week. Kurtley Beale, recalled to the touring squad, is not in the 23.

England: Itoje captain, Fin Smith fit

Maro Itoje captains England after missing their July Tests, and Fin Baxter, Ben Curry and George Furbank return to the starting XV after injury. Fin Smith, who had a calf injury last week, starts at flyhalf, with Marcus Smith on the bench. Steve Borthwick has gone with six forwards among the replacements, including uncapped Exeter back-rower Greg Fisilau and prop Will Stuart, back after a long injury lay-off.

Betting markets for England vs Australia

Head to head: England will start favourites at home. On its own the head to head is better used as a multi leg than a single.

Line (handicap): The main market where an opinion counts. Four of the last six meetings were decided by eight points or fewer, but England’s home wins in this fixture have mostly been big ones.

Winning margin (1-12, 13+): Our tip sits here: England 13+, in line with England’s recent winning margins at Twickenham.

Total points: The last two Twickenham Tests went 79 points (2024) and 32 points (2025, in heavy rain), so the weather on the day matters.

First and anytime try scorer: The outside backs and the ball-carrying forwards. Max Jorgensen scored the winner here in 2024.

Same game multi: Combine the result, a margin and a try scorer in one bet.
