Australia Ease Past England and Secure Rugby League Series Sweep
Australia achieved back-to-back rugby league Ashes clean sweeps for the first time since 1986, winning the series 3-0 with a 30-8 victory in the decider.
- On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, Australia completed a 30-8 win at Headingley, Leeds, England, to finish a 3-0 Ashes sweep with Isaah Yeo and teammates celebrating the trophy.
- After AJ Brimson went off with a shoulder injury, Mikey Lewis took over fullback, causing defensive lapses, while early errors and Nathan Cleary's kicking pushed Australia to a 12-0 lead.
- Key Australians including Josh Addo-Carr, Hudson Young and Harry Grant scored tries with Nathan Cleary converting, and Reece Walsh added two late tries in the last 20 minutes.
- The result gives Australia successive clean sweeps for the first time since 1986, with a sell-out crowd of 19,500 watching Harry Smith, England, convert and kick a penalty.
- Following the defeat, attention turned to England's errors and coaching as calls grew for England coach Shaun Wane's removal from some of the 19,500 crowd after mistakes led to Australia's opening try.
