Rugby's 'Ashes' Series Reignited After 22 Years: England vs Australia Showdown

England hosts Australia at Wembley for the first three-test rugby 'Ashes' series in 22 years. Historically dominated by Australia, the series promises intense competition as England aims to end a long period without a victory. The match anticipates high attendance, showcasing the revived popularity of the rivalry.

England is set to host Australia at Wembley this Saturday for the first in a three-test rugby league series, marking the return of the 'Ashes' after 22 years. This historic rivalry saw Australia dominate with 13 consecutive wins dating back to 1970.

The series is drawing significant attention, with a Wembley crowd of 60,000 expected and subsequent matches already sold out in the sport's northern heartland. Despite past struggles, England aims to capitalize on the renewed interest and break their winless streak.

Australia remains the favorite, bolstered by Grand Final star Reece Walsh and others in the squad. Yet, England's captain, George Williams, insists on their improved standing, asserting, 'We're coming for them.'
