Sheffield-born Jorgensen out to inflict more pain on England
Max Jorgensen was eligble for England, but insists he was always intent on continuing the family tradition of representing the Wallabies.
Max Jorgensen, the Sheffield-born rugby player, is determined to add to Australia's impressive record against England. At 20 years old, Jorgensen scored the winning try in a thrilling 42-37 victory for Australia over England in 2024. Having just three caps to his name and starting on the bench, Jorgensen left Twickenham as a hero.
The player, who was born in Sheffield and raised by a former Wallaby father, has since become a key player for Australia. His ability to perform under pressure has been evident in various high-stakes matches, including the Lions series and a win over South Africa. Despite a poor performance in England's 25-10 win last year, Jorgensen remains confident in Australia's progress under new coach Les Kiss, anticipating a tough match at Twickenham on Sunday.
