England play host to Australia at Twickenham in this Autumn International Test match. The home team were ruthless in dispatching 14 man Tonga 69-3 in their last match. England coach Eddie Jones has drafted in lots of new players, no doubt with the Six Nations and the 2023 World Cup in mind. They will be bolstered by the return of Owen Farrell for this encounter. England have bounced back from their poor Six Nations campaign where they finished fifth to record three straight victories since then. All those wins have come against the smaller nations and this match will be an indicator of how well they have progressed. England are on a five game winning run at home after their loss to Scotland in the Six Nations. Their overall record at home is very impressive with just one loss in their eleven home matches. England have not lost after leading at halftime in the last 30 matches.

Australia did not start their Northern Hemisphere tour on a good note as they narrowly went down to Scotland 15-13. They can feel aggrieved as they had a legitimate try ruled out by the referee. They were on a five game unbeaten run which included two victories over the World Champion Springboks. These five wins were preceded by three consecutive losses to the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championships respectively. They bounced back with four consecutive victories to take second place in the Rugby Championship. Australia were always going to struggle on this tour without key players Quade Cooper and Samu Kerevi who were unavailable to tour due to club commitments. They have proven to be very poor travellers winning just one out of their last 12 away matches across all competitions.
