The November series may have come to an end, yet one major Test remains on the calendar for 2017 and what a fixture it is: England vs Australia, Jones vs Cheika IV. Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China .Saturday nights showdown between the two great sporting rivals at Twickenham may have lost just the tiniest bit of gloss given Australias grand slam dream went up in smoke in Dublin last weekend, but such is the vitriol - Cheikas words not ours - that has broken out between he and Jones that this Test will have no shortage of spice.England remain undefeated this season, and under Jones, having won 12 Tests on the bounce stretching back to their Six Nations opener. In the autumn, theyve accounted for South Africa, Fiji and Argentina with relative ease - the latter proving the sternest Test after both sides were reduced to 14 men. There is also the fact England swept Australia 3-0 Down Under back in June.And therein lies the motivating factor for a Wallabies side that has endured one its worst seasons of the last couple of decades. A 3-2 return from their spring campaign is satisfactory given their predicament pre-tour, but returning home 4-1 - with a victory over England to boot - would leave a slightly sweeter taste for the offseason after what has been a terribly-trying 2016.Team newsEnglandAustraliaMichael Cheika has made four changes to his side for the Wallabies final Test this year with Kane Douglas, Lopeti Timani, Sefanaia Naivalu and Nick Phipps all recalled as Australia look to bounce back after defeat to Ireland last week.Despite being cleared by a disciplinary hearing on Monday, Dean Mumm has been dropped to the bench alongside wing Henry Speight.Stephen Moore will again lead the side and will become the second most-capped Wallaby in history, behind George Gregan, when he takes the field for the 117th Test on Saturday.?Israel Folau; Dane Haylett-Petty, Tevita Kuridrani, Reece Hodge, Sefanaia Naivalu; Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps; Lopeti Timani, Michael Hooper, David Pocock; Rob Simmons, Kane Douglas; Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore, Scott Sio.Replacements: Tolu Latu, James Slipper, Tom Robertson, Dean Mumm, Sean McMahon, Nick Frisby, Quade Cooper, Henry Speight.Key matchupNathan Hughes vs Lopeti TimaniEngland will feel the absence of Billy Vunipola such has been the No.8s outstanding play in 2016, but they have an adequate replacement in Nathan Hughes. Whether they get the same line-bending ball-running is debatable but Hughes will do a solid job at the back of the scrum. Lopeti Timani is also just starting out in the Test frame, but he has already proven to be the strong carrier Australia lacked when England were Down Under in June.Key stats- England have hosted Australia five times at Twickenham since 2010, and lead the head-to-head count 3-2. However, Australia won their most recent encounter at the venue 33-13 at last years World Cup.- Tevita Kuridrani has scored in each of Australias four Tests in Europe this campaign, one more would see him match Mark Ellas grand slam try feat from 1984.- England are shooting for a fourth straight win over Australia, though their longest winning streak over the Wallabies stands at five matches [2000-2003].WeatherTwickenham is on hand for a cool but dry day come Saturday with an expected top temperature of 7 degrees Celsius.What they saidTactically well beat them but weve got to have a greater will to win than them. Weve got to raise our efforts from this week. This is a one-off game against Australia - the 3-0 series win has nothing to do with it. - England coach Eddie Jones.There was a lot of vitriol about Australia - his [Jones] home nation where he coached and where his opportunities were given to him to catch and grow up as a coach and play. Personally, if youre looking to leave a legacy somewhere, you dont want to hit back at it, do you? Australia coach Michael Cheika.VerdictIts the end of a long, tough year for the Wallabies, but they have a fine opportunity to end season 2017 on a bright note. England coach Eddie Jones has worked wonders in 2016, but his boast immediately after last weeks victory over Argentina that Saturdays Test would be his best win of the year will come back to bite him. Australia arent the same side England rightfully swept 3-0 in June.Australia by five. Wholesale MLB Jerseys Authentic .
