00:00it can make a difference
00:07maybe I'm out of date
00:11maybe I'm just thinking too much about
00:131990 or 1995
00:15when England beat them there in the
00:17World Cup but it certainly
00:19made a difference then
00:20and I think it can do again
00:23and as I say
00:24if they're going to have a game staged
00:27at Wembley it has to be the first
00:29test, it just doesn't
00:31work staging
00:33any other game there, it has to be the first test
00:35and I think
00:37prestige wise Wembley
00:38just shows that this is
00:41a serious business
00:43this test series and that it's something
00:45a little bit out of the ordinary
00:47so I agree
00:49with them playing it at Wembley and I agree
00:51with them staging the first test there
00:53Yeah, Sam B then
00:55where
00:57does Sean Wayne look for his spark
00:59this week against the Aussies then?
01:00Who is he looking to
01:01to catch them cold
01:03and maybe blow a hole
01:05in their line?
01:08I think the obvious one's
01:09Mikey Lewis
01:10whether he starts on
01:11is a different question
01:12because I do think
01:13it'll be Williams and
01:14Smith
01:15as a start in 6-7
01:17but as we saw in the
01:19grand final
01:20Lewis has achieved that
01:21big game performance
01:23that he was waiting for
01:24in his career
01:24and now he's hoping to push on
01:27and deliver it against the Aussies
01:29I think
01:30Jez Lytton will be
01:30another key one
01:31with his
01:32speed out of
01:33dummy half
01:34obviously
01:35Wells be at the back
01:36and then they've got
01:37if they can find
01:38if Harry Smith's
01:39kicking game's on point
01:40as it has been
01:41most of this season
01:42they've got
01:43some electric wingers
01:45in Burgess and
01:46Dom Young
01:47to try and
01:48attack them edges
01:49I know Australia
01:50have got
01:51pretty tall wingers
01:52pretty pacey wingers
01:54so it's going to be
01:55a tough
01:55edge battle
01:56for England
01:57but
01:58yeah I think
01:59we've got enough
02:00to compete
02:01whether we'll
02:01get over that line
02:02is a different question
02:03but I think we've
02:04certainly got enough
02:04to compete
02:05Thanks for joining us
02:13please like and share
02:14and we'll see you
