SuggestedLeadIn: Australia coach Michael Cheika, captain Stephen Moore and flanker Michael Hooper spoke on Thursday (1st October) ahead of their 2015 Rugby World Cup game against England at Twickenham on Saturday (3rd October).

Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Cheika, Australia head coach (Q: After the Bledisloe Cup match did that firm things up that Michael Hooper and David Pocock could play together?)

"They've played too well so far for me not to select them together and I think that it's…just because there are certain ideas that I might have I should be open to change on that front. The two games that they've both played together they've not just played well individually, they've combined well together and I think that's the important part I think."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Cheika, Australia head coach (Q: Ben Morgan said England were going to try and dominate in the forwards like previously, are you ready for the challenge?)

"I know they think we are weak in the forwards, you know it's pretty obvious, they're saying it out loud. So the only way … no and they've done it to us, they've stuck it to us the last couple of times, so there is nothing we can say in this room that's going to make any difference, the only place things are going to be different is on the field on Saturday night and that's where we've got to show our colours. Talk is cheap, you know."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Cheika, Australia head coach (Q: The pressure is all on England, they could go out and they've described it like their final, will that work to their benefit?)

"I'd be surprised if that's the case from them, because from our point of view coming into this tournament, we see every game as a final, you know, it's tournament play. I don't think you can all of a sudden say 'oh shit it's a final, we better play'."
