England take on Australia looking to finish the year with a flourish against elite opponents following a mixed bag in 2021.
Defeats to Scotland, Wales and Ireland have left a sour taste in English mouths this calendar year, and big performances are expected against the Aussies and South Africa to come.
Eddie Jones' men are fresh from three victories against lesser opponents, with 139 points scored against Tonga and Canada in their last two matches combined, but conceding 29 points to USA highlighted flaws in the squad that must be fixed before this weekend.
Australia have also experienced a mixed 2021 having defeated world champions South Africa twice but fallen to Oceanic rivals New Zealand three times in a month earlier in the year.
Dave Rennie will be determined for his side to rack up a big win on British soil after falling to a shock defeat against Scotland last weekend.

England v Australia prediction
By Nigel Owens, former Rugby World Cup final referee
I was disappointed with Australia on Sunday. Scotland played well but I was expecting more from Australia, I thought they would just turn a corner now after disappointing results against New Zealand and Dave Rennie's putting his stamp on the team. I thought Australia are going to be dangerous and they didn't quite do that on Sunday. It's going to be an interesting one you know, I think if Australia don't up their performance – but every team ups their performance against England – then you know, we could see England controlling things on Saturday.
It's going to be a really intriguing match to watch, it really could go either way but I fancy England will, in Twickenham as well, have enough in the tank to control the game. That'll be the key for England, if they can control the contact area in the set pieces and control the game, which is their strength, then they'll beat Australia. It'll be close, but I fancy England to take Australia by about 8-10 points.
Prediction: England win
