From RugbyRugby. "This is a one-off tournament and the Wallabies have a great group of players," [said] Woodward. "They are the team to beat, it's as simple as that."

England go into the tournament as the world's No.1 side in both the International Rugby Board and Zurich World Rankings.

And Woodward stressed that a Grand Slam-winning spring and summer victories against New Zealand and Australia provided vital momentum to England's challenge."
