WALLABY midfielder Len Ikitau says Joe Schmidt's side are ready for another Twickenham heist against England next weekend.

The centre, who played all three Tests as the Aussie outsiders ran the Lions close in the summer, has joined Exeter on the back of his country's resurgence.

Disgraced at the 2023 World Cup, under Eddie Jones, Australia beat South Africa, at Johannesburg's Ellis Park, in the Rugby Championship. Ikitau (left) was part of a win that showcased the Schmidt revolution when they arrived unfancied in London last year and overcame England 42-37.

That served notice that the Wallabies mean business ahead of hosting the 2027 World Cup.
