Video. Autumn tour 2024 – Ten tries, a victory in the 84th… the highlights of a legendary England-Australia

79 points, 10 tries and a completely crazy finale: this match between England and Australia had absolutely everything. If you weren't able to follow one of the best matches of the year, we summarize the (many) notable moments of the game.

• 12th minute of play: Cunningham-South already doubles the lead

The start of the match looks like a formality for the XV de la Rose. Dominant in all impacts and devilishly effective in scoring areas, Steve Borthwick's men will take off from the start thanks to one man: Chandler Cunningham-South. If his name may not mean anything to you at the moment, the player born in 2003 has already become a fixture on the other side of the Channel as his activity and power are impressive. And with a double in just twelve minutes, it's difficult to get your team going better.

• 27th minute of play: Sua'ali'i enters the scene

Main attraction of the meeting, and for good reason he was making his debut in professional rugby union, Joseph Sua'ali'i succeeded in his first. His highlight of the match was this magnificent pass after contact for the first Australian try, completely relaunching his teammates.

• 41st minute of play: the Wallabies take the lead at the break

Trailing by twelve points after twenty minutes of play, the Wallabies were not giving much away. Recent last in the Rugby Championship, the Australians will revolt thanks in particular to the entry of Tate McDermott The scrum half will take all the English from behind at the exit of the ruck, to serve on a plate his captain Harry Wilson who no longer has than to spread out in his in-goal. Noah Lolesio will reward his team's very good end to the first period by scoring a penalty after the Twickenham siren to take the advantage for the first time in the game (18-20).

• 68th minute of play: Sleightholme restores the advantage to the XV de la Rose

Ollie Sleightholme almost became the hero of this game. The substitute was on the receiving end of a mischievous little kick from Marcus Smith for the English's fourth try. In the corner, the Harlequins opener will this time adjust the sights to get in front of his teammates (30-28). We then say to ourselves that the English dynamic will allow them to win a first success in this autumn tour after the inaugural defeat against the All Blacks.

• 75th minute of play: Kellaway intercepts Lawrence's dropped ball

While Australia has not been threatening for a few minutes and England is holding the ball, Ollie Lawrence is sought after a well-managed throw-in. But the center will commit an avoidable forward contact. Andrew Kellaway then recovered the dropped ball and raced 55 meters, resisting the desperate return of the English center, head in his hands, aware of the impact of his error.

• 79th minute of play: Itoje English hero

England will immediately recover from the try conceded and recover the ball to attack the Wallabies in-goal. In power, second row Maro Itoje will score what we think will be the winning try. All that remains is for Marcus Smith to transform the achievement. What he does without trembling, and thus thinks of offering an unexpected victory to his teammates.

• 84th minute of play: Jorgensen completes the Australian feat

A new short dismissal will allow the Australians to have a final possession in the English camp. If the forwards will initially come up against the English defense, the players from the island continent will spread and find the surplus thanks to a lot of work from Rob Valentini. Max Jorgensen will then make a 40-meter ride to offer a first success on English soil since 2015 (37-42).
