Henry Pollock scored two tries in rapid succession after entering at halftime as a makeshift winger, leading England to a 45-22 victory over Australia in Nations Championship rugby at Twickenham on Sunday. Pollock crossed in the 55th and 57th minutes, showcasing his versatility after replacing injured Immanuel Feyi-Waboso. England's emphatic win marked their third victory in four tournament matches, with seven tries scored overall—their highest output ever against Australia.
England built an early lead through tries from Jamie George, Ollie Chessum, and Joe Heyes in the opening period. Australia responded when Max Jorgensen intercepted a Jack van Poortvliet pass for a try, pulling the deficit to 19-10 at halftime. Van Poortvliet atoned for his error with his own try, before Pollock's explosive performance took over the second half.
Ben Spencer added England's seventh try in the 76th minute, while Filipo Daugunu and Jeremy Williams scored for Australia. England faces Japan and New Zealand at Twickenham over the next two weekends, with tournament finals scheduled for November 27-29. Australia will next play Scotland and Wales.
