On the back of a dismal Six Nations campaign and defeat to the Barbarians in June, there is plenty of pressure on England coach Eddie Jones ahead of the upcoming three-match tour of Australia.
Indeed, a winless series could well mean time is called on Jones’ tenure with the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France now on the horizon.
The last time England were Down Under, in 2016, they claimed a hugely impressive 3-0 series victory but they’re unlikely to be heading to the Southern Hemisphere with quite as much confidence this time around.
They play the first of three Tests against the Wallabies on Saturday in Perth, with a 36-strong squad that includes 10 players who were involved in that 3-0 win.
Among those are Danny Care and Billy Vunipola, who have been brought back in from the cold by Jones for the tour of Australia.
England have won the last eight matches against Saturday’s opponents, so they certainly won’t be short of motivation.
