Australia and their old foes both have losing Test records in 2024 and meet at Twickenham needing the boost from a big scalp as much as bragging rights
n any sport, at any time, at any venue, “Australia versus England” doesn’t need hyperbole to be compelling. The nations share an unwritten, unspoken enmity that creates its own drama, and when the two teams run out at Twickenham this weekend, it all goes on the line for two proud fanbases desperate for bragging rights.
These Wallabies flew out in the Australian spring, new shoots and blossom on the breeze. Joe Schmidt has spent his first year as coach churning and repairing the scorched earth Eddie Jones left behind, sowing new seeds and pruning dead wood. After gathering his men in the summer, he rotated them through the winter Tests, trying out different combinations, looking for signs of growth.
Rugby Australia keenly want the former to rebuild the Wallabies brand, fanbase and bottom line before the Lions hit town and the World Cup lands on home shores two years later. It’s why RA has gifted Schmidt a shiny new weapon in 21-year-old prodigySince being called into Wallabies camp from the NRL, Australia’s $5m man has impressed everyone with his power, nous and potential.
