Australia captain Harry Wilson has insisted that the Wallabies are determined to start reversing their one-sided rivalry with England when they clash at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

England enter the second of their four Autumn Nations matches as heavy favourites having won 10 of their last 11 meetings dating back to 2016, with the only defeat coming in Perth two years ago.

“We have such good rivalry in many sports. I love my Ashes cricket and you know how intense that rivalry is,” Wilson said. “The opportunity to play against England in their own backyard is so exciting and both teams have a lot of respect for each other, which is why there is such good rivalry.

    The 20-min red card explained by referee Karl Dickson

    Referee Karl Dickson explains the 20-min red card system that is in place during the Autumn Nations Series.

    “There is nothing better than trying to get one up on them. In saying that we don’t have the best record against them in the past few years, so it would be exciting for us to get one up on them.”

    All eyes will be on Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii at Twickenham, where the highly-rated rugby league convert will be making his first senior appearance in union following his big-money move from NRL.

    “I’m sure he will go out there and do himself and his family proud because it’s one heck of an opportunity for him,” Wilson said. “He hasn’t played a professional rugby game of rugby union, but he’s played schoolboys in union and has always loved it.

    “At only 21 years old, he has picked up the game very quickly. The way he has trained has been awesome.”
