Watch England Vs. Australia Rugby 3rd Test Stream Live: England Go For Historic Whitewash On Wallabies’ Home Ground


The England rugby union national team will try to grab what Coach Eddie Jones calls “a once in a lifetime opportunity” to blank Australia in a three-game international test series on the Wallabies’ own home turf in a match that will stream live Saturday, with England already taking the series thanks to a 23-7 victory in Melbourne last weekend.

The series victory is the first ever for an England rugby side away against Australia. But a win in Sydney on Saturday would give England the first three-match sweep of Australia down under by any visiting team in 45 years.

The last time it happened was 1971, when the South Africa Springboks invaded Australia and blew away the Wallabies three games straight. Not even mighty New Zealand has accomplished the feat in the decades since.

That’s why Jones has cautioned his players not to be satisfied with their already-historic series win, one of the great achievements for an England international side in any sport — and not to let the plaudits they’ve received for their remarkable performance go to their heads.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to beat Australia 3-0,” Jones said this week.

“When you’ve had a couple of wins praise can make you weak and we have to be careful that all the praise doesn’t make us weak. If you become weak once, you can become weak twice and to be a champion team you can’t be like that. Outside praise is dangerous for a team and they’ve been getting a lot of it, so we just have to be careful,” the coach added.
