England had led by 12 points and then trailed by 10 in a see-sawing encounter.

Maro Itoje's 78th-minute try seemed to have settled matters by moving the hosts 37 -35 ahead.

But Max Jorgensen's late try gave Australia the lead four minutes into the second half .

England have lost six of their 10 matches this season, including each of their past four.

Harlequins full-back Sleightholme scored twice to make it 28-23 at half-time.

Itoje 's score seemed to have salvaged victory, but England gave away possession off the kick-off and, with tired legs unable to cover ground, Jorgensen raced away for a gut-punch game-winning score.
