RED ROSE ALERT

Aussie threat to home rule

Mako VUNIPoLa has warned his England team-mates they must raise their game to prevent their 11-match unbeaten home record being smashed by australia.

The forward admits England fell well below their best in the unconvincing 21-8 victory over argentina on Saturday, saying: ‘We know we could have played a lot better. There is still a cohesiveness we need to work on.

‘If we take the lessons from this, it shouldn’t happen again. If we don’t, australia will take you apart.’

England coach Eddie Jones is likely to recall owen Farrell and Maro Itoje on Saturday.
