Special visitor drops by as Kangaroos gear up for Wembley Test

The Australian Kangaroos have gained the support of famous musician Jon Bon Jovi ahead of their First Ashes Test in 22 years.
The national team was out on the hallowed turf of Wembley Stadium, where they’ll play against England on Sunday morning (AEDT) for their captain’s run.
Just before their sessions started, the American musician, who is performing at the venue in September, was getting some publicity shots for his world tour, which provided the opportunity for the unexpected and unplanned crossover at the start of the session.
And he even had some time to pass on a message of encouragement to the team ahead of the clash.

He wouldn’t be the only one who is looking forward to the clash.
Speaking ahead of the game with NRL.com, Nathan Cleary admitted that he was looking forward to being able to represent Australia once again on English shores.
“We’re lucky enough to play the World Cup over there a few years ago, and the off-field stuff is just as enjoyable as the on-field,” he said.
“It’s not often you get to travel and represent your country on the other side of the world, so I’m looking forward to the opportunity.”
The match kicks off at 12:30am AEDT with the Kangaroos hoping to start the series with a blaze of glory.
