England ready for streetwise Australians’ box of tricks

ANDY ROBINSON and scrummaging guru Phil Keith-Roach attended a pre-Test meeting with referee Joel Jutge to ensure the Frenchman is fully briefed on the ‘tricks’ England expect Australia’s forwards to employ in today’s clash at Twickenham.

England boast a hefty power advantage in the pack - their front row alone weighs in at more than 55 stone - and Wallabies coach Eddie Jones fears the home side’s lineout as the best in Europe.

But Robinson knows only too well that Jones is a canny operator and expects Australia to employ every trick in the book in a bid to off-set England’s brute force.
