The Panel's 3 Tips For England Vs Australia Autumn International

There are few proud sporting nations and multi-dimensional sporting rivalries quite like those between England and Australia. 

No matter the shape and size of the ball, the mother country and its inimitable colonial product love to project authority over each other on the sporting stage and yet their rugby union teams could perhaps concede one another some sympathy about their shared malaise. 

England and Australia both come into this autumn series with 4-5 records, each winning and losing games they perhaps should not have.

However, it’s Australia who are especially under the pump as they rebuild ahead of a financially life-saving Lions tour (2025) and home Rugby World Cup (2027). 

Rugby betting sites are anticipating England to assert their four-place superiority in the World Rugby rankings and extend their home soil winning streak over Australia to five games across eight years. 

The Panel's England v Australia Predictions:

• England -12.5 points To Beat Australia - 4/6 With Bet365
• Immanuel Feyi-Waboso To Score A Try - 5/6 With Bet365
• Fraser McReight To Score A Try - 10/3 With Bet365

England Vs Australia Tips: England To Cover On Home Soil

England start the autumn international with a streaky 4-4 record at home since the start of 2023, but were the underdogs against France last year and New Zealand this year and are expected to do much better against inferior opposition.

Performances have been much more encouraging than the results, and they’ve got set midfield combinations facing an entirely experimental selection from Joe Schmidt, who is debuting Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii - a former NRL player, for his first-ever professional game in union. 

Seen by Schmidt as “an investment” in their preparations for the future, Suaalii is such a risky gamble, but one that’s certainly worth making this early in the World Cup cycle.

Perhaps left-field selections are what the Wallabies need after being by far the most underwhelming top-tier nation in the last two years, an assertion that can be quantified by their 22% success rate at covering the pre-match handicap/spread since the start of 2023.

The host nation, on the other side, have covered in two-thirds of their 2024 Tests, albeit in only one of their three wins as a home favourite.

England Vs Australia Tips: Five In A Row For IFW?

One of our three correct selections for England’s last game, which gave our followers a winning treble of 19/1, was for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso to cross the whitewash against the All Blacks.

England’s 21-year-old rising star continues to catapult his way up the FloRugby World Player rankings, now at 63 in the standings and continues to do his best to lift his respective club and national teams out of some pretty dire form. 

Feyi-Waboso has scored tries in an incredible 10 of his last 12 appearances for Exeter and England and that comes despite his team losing seven of those matches. So we can expect him to be amongst the action irrespective of how his team-mates perform.

He is joint-favourite with the best betting sites to score against Australia, level with Tommy Freeman who has scored in only four of his last 12 games for club or country.

England Vs Australia Betting: McReight Is Our Value Try Scorer Selection

For an openside flanker, Reds star Fraser McReight continues to punch well above his weight when it comes to finding the try line. He represents as outstanding value to score a try at Twickenham.

McReight won the Pilecki Medal in July as the Reds’ best player of the Super Rugby Pacific season, courtesy of registering tries in six of his 13 club appearances. He managed that despite missing two games through suspension.

He carried that form into the southern winter where he notched up a double against Georgia and finished as one of two Wallabies to register two 2024 Rugby Championship tries. 

But most impressively, he did that in only two appearances, scoring in each of his country’s losses to the All Blacks. 

Being a regular try scorer, it’s incredible that some of Australia’s struggling wingers are so far ahead of him in the try scorer markets on betting apps.
