England 'pumped' for Australia test - Hatley

Saturday, June 11 2016 by SNTV
  • Australia and England camps look ahead to the first Test on Saturday (11th June).

    England are putting the final touches to their preparations or their three match test series against Australia.

    The first match kicks off on Saturday, with England attempting to win their first series down under.

    England scrum coach Neal Hatley says the squad are 'pumped' and ready for the challenge ahead.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Neal Hatley, England Scrum Coach:

    "There's great anticipation. We've been talking about this since we met up in Brighton. The lads are pumped, they can't wait to get going. It's a really exciting challenge, a three match series. The focus if just on what we have to do tomorrow night. That's first and foremost."
    Meanwhile, Wallabies captain Stephen Moore is expecting a 'physical match'

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Moore, Wallabies Captain:

    "Test rugby is physical. Probably more physical than super rugby so that part of the game is very important. We know the importance of that, we've prepared for that. We want to make sure that part of our game is solid tomorrow"

    Australia ended England's run at the 2015 World Cup with a group-stage win at Twickenham.

    However, England have since won the Six Nations under new coach Eddie Jones and will be out to avenge that defeat and make history with a series win down under.
