Reece Walsh has illuminated the renewal of Ashes rugby league after a 22-year absence with a glorious two-try tour de force as the Kangaroos powered to a 26-6 victory over outclassed England in the first Test at Wembley.

His electric running, not to mention two try-saving interventions, lit up England's national stadium in London on Saturday. "He's one of the best we've seen," as his admiring teammate Nathan Cleary put it.
