England winger Paul Sackey expects Australia to arrive at Twickenham on Saturday "furious" over their World Cup humbling and bent on avenging their 12-10 quarter-final defeat to England. Jonny Wilkinson landed four penalties that day but Sackey is one of just four players starting this weekend that also featured in Marseille.

Australia are also rebuilding under new coach Robbie Deans — their side contains only six survivors — but Sackey expects they will be more determined than ever to beat the old enemy.

"That was probably one of the best feelings, in the World Cup. The atmosphere in Marseille was unbelievable. We were 150 per cent the underdogs," Sackey recalled. "It was one of those games where we went out saying, 'Everyone has written us off, let's go out and play the way we want to play'.

"There were loads of different aspects to that game which brought us closer together.

"Everything about that game was massive. You could see that from the scrummaging of those boys in the first 10 minutes; Andrew Sheridan dominated the scrum and there was argy bargy.

"For us to come out with a result the way we did...it wasn't like we were lucky. We should have beaten them by more.

"This game is a whole different ball game but they are going to be furious. It will be very intense."

England opened their new era under Martin Johnson with a 39-13 victory over the Pacific Islanders.

It pleased Johnson to hear Wilikinson's replacement, outhalf Danny Cipriani, gave himself five out of 10 for his performance.

Despite scoring two tries, Sackey only rated himself at four and a half in the knowledge England will need to up their game substantially if they are to emerge victorious against the Wallabies.

"With so many changes in the team, not everyone will come out guns blazing because we don't know each other as a team. You have got to get a feeling and click together," he said.

"But it picked up. The guys that came in did really well and in the end we got the win we wanted."
