Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 22:21 · Archive

Australian winger Max Jorgensen hopes to replicate a last-gasp 42-37 victory at Twickenham from two years ago when Australia face England in Sunday's Nations Championship clash.

Australian winger Max Jorgensen hopes to conjure another special win at Twickenham when Australia face England in Sunday's Nations Championship clash. Two years ago, Jorgensen scored the winning try in the 84th minute after receiving a no-look backhanded flick pass from Len Ikitau, diving over the line to turn defeat into a 42-37 victory.

At 22, Jorgensen is regarded as a generational talent. He has scored crucial tries against the Lions and the Springboks at both Ellis Park and Perth. The prospect of returning to Twickenham where he achieved that famous victory could inspire the team, he suggested.

Jorgensen acknowledged the atmosphere at Twickenham, with 85,000 singing and chanting, creates a daunting environment different from what Australia experiences at home. However, he said knowing the team can win there is encouraging. When asked about the possibility of a repeat performance, he expressed hope that Australia would finish the game earlier rather than leaving it as close as they did two years ago.
