England vs. Australia: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Rugby Preview

England and Australia will bring a close to their autumn international schedule on Saturday, the two sides each looking to go out on a high note at Twickenham.

Both teams have suffered two defeats this autumn, with England dropping to South Africa and New Zealand while the Walllabies lost to France and Ireland.

However, a confidence-boosting result over Samoa last Saturday has put a spring in the step of Stuart Lancaster's men, who will be hoping to build on that victory with a spark against their visitors from Down Under.

This Saturday's fixture will act as a warm-up for the Pool A encounter between these two teams at next year's Rugby World Cup.

With Wales, Fiji and Uruguay making up the group, many have termed it the "Pool of Death," Urugiuay being the only team who look incapable of beating any of the other four.

In the build-up to Saturday's Test, Wallabies utility Adam Ashley-Cooper sized the game up, per ESPN Scrum, saying:

"

It's a tough pool and you can certainly treat Saturday's match as a warm-up game for that World Cup match. The reality is that's seven or eight months away, but we do have England at Twickenham in the World Cup so this gives us a really good understanding of what it's going to be like. I think everyone is really excited by that.

"

Many in Michael Cheika's squad are still finding out what it's like to feature in European stadiums such as this, and England will claim any advantage they can in the hunt to show signs of progress.

Each of Australia's autumn defeats has come by frustrating three-point margins, and it's a slow start in particular—such as the one that undid them in Dublin last week—that the tourists will look to avoid.

Wallabies Fighting Rank Slide

A realisation of a disappointing international season came to light this week as the Wallabies learned that for the first time in their history, they had dropped to fifth in the IRB rankings, per SA Rugby:

It will be up to Cheika and captain Michael Hooper to ensure aggression is their reaction to the news, with Australia almost taking on a guise of the Southern Hemisphere's also-rans in recent times.

However, flanker Hooper must see to it that it's controlled aggression they exercise against the English, as his own rage and passion for the badge can too often spill over.

A new-look Wallabies set-up should look upon this as an unforgivable insult against their brand, and Twickenham presents a perfect chance to save some face.
