‘Different England’

London: Wallabies coach Dave Rennie believes England will look completely different to the side thumped by the Bar­barians, excited about his side’s shift in fitness and skill-set.

With the Premiership Final between Leicester and Saracens running concur­rently, English coach Eddie Jones select­ed an understrength line-up as a French-dominant Baa-Baas ran away with the 52-21 victory.

Despite this, Rennie pointed to the fi­nal thriller, in which both sides largely relied on their kicking game, as a better sign of what to expect on July 2 rather than the Twickenham defeat.

“I haven’t watched it. I’ve seen the score, but the squad they bring over will be no resemblance to that group,” Ren­nie said on the England defeat.

“They had a lot of their key players playing on the weekend (in the English Premiership final). So once they name their squad I’ll take a bit more interest.

“(The final) was a bit of a kick-fest and not surprising…they may be an indica­tor to how England play.”

Meanwhile, England coach Eddies Jones announced his squad for the Aus­tralian tour.
