LONDON (Reuters) -England host Australia at Wembley on Saturday in the first of a three-test rugby league series when the list of "first since" references could fill the match-day programme as the hosts seek to overturn decades of Kangaroo dominance.

It is the first "Ashes" series between the sport's original big two for 22 years, when Australia swept to a 3-0 whitewash over the side then competing as Great Britain.
