Jorgensen seeks to repeat Twickenham magic

The try that changed everything

Max Jorgensen scored in the eighty-third minute at Twickenham in November 2024, snatching a forty-two to thirty-seven victory for Australia with the clock in the red.

“It was a pretty special night for the whole team.”

Born in Sheffield, chose the Wallabies

Jorgensen was born in Sheffield when his father Peter played in the Premiership for Northampton, Rotherham and Edinburgh. The family returned to Australia when Max was a toddler.

A Wallabies fan from the start

In two thousand fifteen, Peter and eleven-year-old Max flew to the UK to watch that year's Rugby World Cup. Max wore green and gold, cheering Australia to victory over England.

“I just always had the dream of playing for the Wallabies.”

Big player in big games

Since the Twickenham win, Jorgensen has become a first-choice back-three pick. He crossed in the first and third Tests against the British and Irish Lions last year.

South Africa and the road ahead

Jorgensen scored the match-winner in September's forty-two to thirty-eight victory over South Africa. He also crossed in the Wallabies' first win over the Springboks at Ellis Park in sixty-two years.

Trending in the right direction

Under new coach Les Kiss, Jorgensen believes Australia are improving but need consistency for the Nations Championship finals and next year's home Rugby World Cup.

“We've come a long way, we aren't the perfect team, but we are definitely getting better.”
