Australia go 1-0 up in first Ashes Test in 22 years
Sam Kosack •  October 26th, 2025 4:41 am
Australia are one step closer to retaining the Ashes after defeating England 26-6.
In the first Ashes Test in 22 years, Wembley Stadium was rocking as 60,000 fans turned out to see Reece Walsh and the Kangaroos dominate England.
Reece Walsh and Angus Crichton both scored doubles before Daryl Clark scored England’s only points with five minutes remaining.
Walsh’s form from the NRL season continued, notching another man of the match performance with 236 metres, two line breaks and five tackle breaks to go with his two tries.
The Kangaroos will be without captain Isaah Yeo for the second Test in Liverpool, suffering a concussion nine minutes in.
Australia now go 1-0 up in the series, with a chance to once again claim the trophy, keeping England without a series win for 56 years.
