England v N Zealand: Teams

Jonny Wilkinson has called on the England players to be resilient or risk let New Zealand run away with the result at Twickenham.

Wilkinson knows more than most what it takes to beat the All Blacks, having played his part in the back-to-back victories in 2002 and 2003.

A steely edge to the England team meant they were able to quell the New Zealand threat, even when things were going against them.

The current class of England players are somewhat more nervy, with the errors creeping into their play during a 16-9 victory over Argentina.

And Wilkinson has warned his team-mates that they need to dig in and tough it out if they are to upset the odds on Saturday.

"You have to react hard. You have to push yourself. You have to accept it will be fast and frantic and tough. They are full of world-class players and you cannot switch off," said Wilkinson.

"Minute-by-minute you have to take your hits, accept they are a good team and that they might pop over a penalty here or score a try there.

"You have to react and come back. That is what we did a few years ago. We had situations against the best teams when we were scores down. You have to stick to your task.

"It is difficult but you have to keep these games tight. If you let New Zealand build up momentum and take control then suddenly you are out of the game.

"With half-an-hour left you are wondering where it has gone. It is not one of those games you can hang in there."

England have made four changes for the match - with three players coming in and manager Martin Johnson making a positional switch.

Ayoola Erinle will make his first start after replacing Shane Geraghty, while Wasps duo Joe Worsley and Simon Shaw return to bolster the pack.

After a stuttering display from Ugo Monye at full-back against the Pumas, Mark Cueto switches from the wing to wear the No.15 shirt.

On the bench David Wilson comes in for Paul Doran-Jones, while Andy Goode is dropped to make way for Mathew Tait.

England may have come in from criticism for their performances against Australia and Argentina, leading to boos from the Twickenham crowd, but the All Blacks are taking nothing for granted.

New Zealand coach Graham Henry, who himself has had his own critics over the years, said: "They got booed in the 2007 World Cup and ended up playing in the final.

"We respect England. They are inclined to come right when they play big games."

Henry has made 13 changes from the side that beat Italy 20-6 in Milan, with Dan Carter and Richie McCaw among those returning.
