Ten Years Ago Today, Chris Ashton scores a stunner against Australia

Ten years ago today, England delivered a scinitlating performance as they secured an impressive 35-18 victory over Australia at Twickenham.

Chris Ashton dotted down twice for the Red Roses with his one after half time eventually going on to win the IPA Try of the Year award later that year.


A record 25-point haul from fly-half Toby Flood carried the hosts to a deserved victory that secured the Cook Cup and also equalled their biggest-ever winning margin over the Wallabies.

Scrum-half Ben Youngs set the tone for an exhilarating display with a Man of the Match performance.
