See Englands starting XV for the first Test against Australia and hear why Eddie Jones made those changes I picked a team specifically for the gameplan against Australia, he said. Its the first Test of the series, we know its going to be a physical game, weve picked a team that can cope with it.You can define teams as either streetfighters or boxers. Boxers tend to be more calculated whereas streetfighters come out and want to hit you and then they see where the weakness is. Australia is a streetfighter, they want to come out and hit us and see what reaction they get. Jones tells us why he had to make tough decisions ahead of the opening test with Australia in Brisbane Australia coach Michael Cheika has named three debutants in his side and Jones believes Englands chances rest on pushing Australia back and putting their inexperienced players under pressure.If we win the gain-line we will put Australia under a lot of pressure, some of their new caps may feel more pressure than theyve ever felt in their lives. Marland Yarde impressed against Wales and keeps his place England have won only three games in Australia - a record Jones is eager to improve in the coming weeks.If you look at Englands record in Australia its pretty ordinary, he told England Rugby. Its a great opportunity to put down a marker and create history.
