England kick-off the knockout phases of this 2019 Rugby World Cup since they face old rivals Australia at the Oita Stadium on Saturday morning.
Eddie Jones sprung when naming his side on Thursday morning dropping in-form fly-half George Ford and moving back priest Owen Farrell to the 10 jersey, together with Henry Slade coming into the midfield alongside Manu Tuilagi.
Courtney Lawes coming into the second row and Mako Vunipola making his first start are seen by other modifications. Certainly this choice blunting the ball carriers that were Australians and is based around power.
Michael Cheika has made a few eyebrow raising collections at centre with Jordan Petaia, while Will Genia and Christian Lealiifano unite from the half-backs in their fourth distinct combination of this contest.
Australia have performed during this World Cup in fits and starts, producing a strong second half to defeat Fiji, before their fightback fell short but they had been woeful for 40 minutes from Wales.
By comparison England come to the match on the back of a 14 day rest — which may be a significant positive or a negative and have been relatively untested.
Since beating England at Twickenham in the 2015 World Cup, Australia have suffered six consecutive defeats to Eddie Jones aspect such as a 3-0 series loss in 2016s summer. In those six meetings England possess an average winning margin of 15 points, and have scored 30 or more points in each one of those clashes (while the Aussies have scored 30 or more precisely once).
However, I do not anticipate the men in white to conduct away with this fixture since theyve done in decades, but I do think they will only have a lot of to the Wallabies. Regardless of the modifications their negative feels more settled and theyve got more clarity in the way that they would like to play.
But we understand that with backs into the walls Michael Hooper and his side will come out breathing fire, but I think Farrell and co. will emerge on top in a tight encounter — England by 1-10 points are my bet.
My choice is Elliot Daly first tryscorer, the England fullback has grown into his role in the last few months and has two tries against Australia in his career. He might expose the space between the inexperienced Petaia and his wingers and will look to combine the lineup – he is well worth chancing to get his second try of the tournament.
