Australia Secures Rugby League Ashes Series with Second Test Win Over England in Liverpool

Australia secured the Rugby League Ashes series with a 14-4 victory over England in the second Test at Everton's new stadium in Liverpool, marking their first series triumph in 22 years. The match featured a fiery start with early sin-binnings and a tied 4-4 halftime score, but Australia's experience and defensive resilience prevailed in the second half with tries from Cameron Munster and Hudson Young. Munster was named man of the match, praising the team's defensive effort despite a scratchy attack. England made multiple lineup changes in an attempt to recover from a heavy first Test defeat, but ultimately fell short against the dominant Kangaroos. Australia's win extends their unbeaten run against Britain since 1970, and the final Test in Leeds remains a formality for pride. The series highlights Australia's continued rugby league supremacy and England's struggle to match their intensity and skill.
