The hosts suffered a 26-6 thrashing at the hands of their illustrious guests, and face a mountainous task to regroup and go again in the second decisive clash.
Following the game, England coach Shaun Wane spoke of the "torture" of his players underperforming and underselling themselves on the grand stage following the match.
The Rugby League Ashes is no fresh innovation, they have been fought for between Great Britain and Australia across 39 editions dating back to 1908.
The series was cancelled following the 2003 edition, but it has been resurrected as an England versus Australia match-up.
Australia boast dominance in the pre-hiatus event having won 13 series in a row dating back to England's last triumph in 1970.
However, the overall record remains remarkably closely contested. Great Britain boast 20 victories to Australia's 19.
