Eddie Jones says Australia will face a hungry England team at Twickenham

Eddie Jones has said Australia will face a hungry England team at Twickenham on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.

Saracens' Owen Farrell is back in the starting line-up after being rested for the autumn opener against Argentina.

Farrell is picked at inside centre in place of Henry Slade, who drops to the replacements' bench, in one of two changes in personnel to the backline that helped topple the Pumas 21-8.

Another British and Irish Lions summer tourist Maro Itoje, who was also rested against Argentina, must settle for a place among the replacements.

"You've just got to look at it, [that] we've brought back four players, all class players. Two of them nominated for World Rugby Player of the Year so they're not short of ability," Jones told Sky Sports News.

"Maro comes off the bench. Owen's a strong defender, good communicator, great goal-kicker and George Ford, knowing they're controlling the attack, it will just give us more poise probably."

Australian Jones admitted he was looking forward to pitting his wits against his compatriots, hoping to add to the four wins over the team he coached from 2001 to 2005 as part of a sequence of 20 victories from 21 Tests in charge of England.

The Wallabies come into the match fresh from a 29-21 win over Wales in Cardiff and Jones said: "Yeah it's a bit of fun this week. England-Australia is always a big game and obviously me being Australian makes it more interesting.

"I'm really looking forward to this game. It's a great chance for us to test ourselves against probably the form team in the world.

"I think they've improved considerably but you've got to remember when we last played them they were the World Cup finalists and, so, they've always been a good team they've just had some lapses in form.

"But they're certainly in-form at the moment."
