Courtney Lawes captained England to a famous win over Australia in Sydney on Saturday.

The Saints forward was named man of the match as the tourists beat their hosts 21-17 to win the series 2-1, fighting back superbly after losing the opening Test match.

Fellow Franklin’s Gardens stars Lewis Ludlam and Tommy Freeman also played key roles in a stunning success for Eddie Jones’s side.

The players are due to fly home on Sunday to finally put their feet up after a tough season, and they will do so with smiles on their faces after their victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
