Two years ago, the Wallabies rolled England at Twickenham. Can history repeat?

The Sydney Morning Herald's Iain Payten analyzes Australia's upcoming November tour, questioning whether the Wallabies can replicate their memorable 2024 victory over England at Twickenham. Australia will face England, Scotland, and Wales, along with an opponent to be determined by the Nations Championship finals format. Payten argues that head coach Les Kiss and the Wallabies require at least two tour victories to establish momentum and belief ahead of next year's World Cup.

Key selection questions surround the fly-half and midfield positions. Declan Meredith is expected to retain the No. 10 jersey as Carter Gordon returns from a broken leg. In the centers, Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii is tipped to stay at outside center alongside Len Ikitau following Hunter Paisami's tour absence. Payten also highlights that 37-year-old Kurtley Beale provides veteran depth and is potentially one injury away from earning his 96th Test cap.
