England's rugby team beat Australia 45-22 on 8 November 2026. It was England's highest score ever against Australia. A young player, Henry Pollock, came on during the game. He scored two tries. The win helped the team's coach, Steve Borthwick.
Rugby started at a school in England called Rugby School. Each team has 15 players. The ball is oval, not round. Players score a try by putting the ball down behind the other team's line. A try is worth five points. Players cannot throw the ball forward. They must run or kick the ball to go forward.
Millions of people play rugby around the world. The Rugby World Cup happens every four years. But rugby can be dangerous. An Australian player hurt England's Immanuel Feyi-Waboso with a bad tackle. The Australian had to leave the field for a short time. Now Feyi-Waboso may miss England's next game, against Japan.
