Overwhelming favourites to beat Australia for the 11th time in 12 Tests, England have promised they won't underestimate a Wallabies team driven by a "fantastic" coach and a sense of history.
Skipper Jamie George is adamant his side don't see Saturday's (Sunday morning AEDT) Twickenham fixture as being a mere warm-up for England's showdown the following week against world champs South Africa because he reckons they have too much respect for what Joe Schmidt's side are capable of unleashing.
And with England having been guilty of taking their foot off the gas in some recent internationals and letting potential victories slip away, he is insistent that this time they will be brave and relentless throughout the 80 minutes in their quest for victory.
