Alex Goode has warned Australia that England have the attacking potential to 'blow the best teams in the world out of the water'.

Competition

Goode made his England debut on the summer tour of South Africa and he retained the full-back jersey for the Fiji Test ahead of Mike Brown. The competition is strong. Brown is enjoying a stellar season. He is a rock under the high ball, a strong counter-attacking runner and he possesses a siege-gun boot. But Goode's ability to read the game as a fly-half from the full-back's position clearly appeals to Lancaster. "What I try and bring to the party is organisation, to try and make the back line work a bit better if I can and today it went alright," Goode said. "There were times when Toby Flood and I really created well together and linked well. In attack the performance was probably a seven or eight out of 10. "Overall I was pretty happy. To be at home for my first game was a massive day for me and my family. "Walking out and hearing the anthem was a real proud day for me. My mum and my girlfriend told me they were crying. I luckily kept the tears in!"
