Woodward cranks up pressure on Wallabies

CLIVE WOODWARD last night threw down the gauntlet to Wallabies coach Eddie Jones, by declaring: “Australia won’t have a better chance of beating England for a long, long time.”

The traditional pre-match mind games are up and running between two of world rugby's fiercest rivals.

England have returned Down Under for the first time since their World Cup final victory over Jones' Wallabies last November but could end up fielding only three of their World Cup final starting XV at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday Josh Lewsey, Ben Cohen and Lawrence Dallaglio especially if injuries rule out centre Mike Tindall, prop Trevor Woodman and flanker Richard Hill.
