'AERIAL FREAK' ACES FIRST TEST

Suaalii impresses on his Wallabies debut, troubling England in their 42-37 win

Australia coach Joe Schmidt hailed Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii as an "aerial freak", after the cross-code capture marked his first senior game of rugby union by starring in the Wallabies' thrilling last-gasp 42-37 win over England at Twickenham on Nov 9.

Suaalii, a multi-million dollar convert from rugby league, was named Player of the Match after posing problems for England under the high ball, with the outside centre's sublime pass also sending in fullback Tom Wright for the first of the Wallabies' five tries.

The lead changed hands four times in the closing 15 minutes, with England 37-35 ahead and 80 minutes already played after lock Maro Itoje's try was converted by fly-half Marcus Smith.

But replacement back Max Jorgensen struck in the 84th minute when, from a Len Ikitau offload that sucked in Smith, he scored the last of the game's 10 tries.

Ben Donaldson converted as the Wallabies beat England at Twickenham for the first time since they knocked them out of the 2015 World Cup.
