[QUOTE="Swami, post: 141070, member: 13"] [SIZE=6][B]Italy 7-26 Australia: Wallabies prepare for England with first autumn win[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [/LIST] [IMG]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/480/cpsprodpb/11C2C/production/_104384727_adamashley-cooper_getty.jpg[/IMG] Adam Ashley-Cooper won his 117th cap for Australia against Italy [B]Autumn international: Italy v Australia Italy (0) 7 Try:[/B] Bellini [B]Con:[/B] Allan [B]Australia (14) 26 Tries: [/B]Koroibete 2, Tupou, Genia [B]Cons: [/B]Toomua 3 Head coach Michael Cheika says Australia will "love" facing England next Saturday after beating Italy for their first win of the autumn series. Rugby league convert Marika Koroibete scored two tries, with Taniela Tupou and Will Genia also crossing. Adam Ashley-Cooper, returning after a two-year absence at the age of 34, made his 117th appearance to become Australia's third-most capped player. "Now we have to look to see what we need next week," said Cheika. "We love going to Twickenham, love the crowd hating us, so let's get it on!" It was only a fourth win in 12 Tests for under-pressure coach Cheika's Wallabies, who were beaten by Wales last week in Cardiff and by New Zealand in October. "I feel great. We won, we grinded. In the change rooms people were smiling," added Australia captain Michael Hooper. "It was a win and we have not had a huge amount this year." Tito Tebaldi and Braam Steyn both had tries disallowed for Italy before Australia built a 14-0 first-half lead through Fijian wing Koroibete at Stadio Euganeo. Winger Mattia Bellini crossed after the break for the hosts' only try in Padua.

"For the life of me, why don't you go upstairs when it's there. It's just beyond belief," he said. Veteran Ashley-Cooper had a hand in both tries for Koroibete, who was a late replacement for injured Jordan Petaia - the 18-year-old set to make his debut. Australia now face Eddie Jones' England next Saturday, kick-off 15:00 GMT, while Italy play the All Blacks in Rome on the same day. Swami [/QUOTE]
