Elsom on guard for new-look England

AUSTRALIA captain Rocky Elsom has warned the Wallabies to underestimate the new-look England side at their peril.

England have been hit hard by injuries in the build-up to the autumn international campaign and are without 11 of their initial squad, including six Lions.

Shane Geraghty will make his first England start while Matt Banahan, Ugo Monye, Dan Hipkiss and David Wilson all boast fewer than 10 caps.
