LONDON : Max Jorgensen's last-gasp try gave Australia a dramatic 42-37 victory over England in a frantic see-sawing test match at Twickenham on Saturday.

England flanker Chandler Cunningham-South went over twice in the first half, either side of a Noah Lolesio penalty for Australia, before the Wallabies hit back with tries from Tom Wright and Harry Wilson to lead 20-18 at halftime.

Jeremy Williams bundled over and Lolesio kicked another penalty to bring up 18 unanswered points and make it 28-18, before substitute Ollie Sleightholme's first two international tries dragged England back into a 30-28 lead.

Andrew Kellaway capitalised on a misplaced pass to charge away with five minutes to play, England's Maro Itoje thought he had snatched back victory with a late try but Jorgensen ran down the touchline to win it for Australia at the death.
