England ‘desperate’ to create history against Australia, says Eddie Jones

England coach Eddie Jones says his charges are desperate and motivated to create history and finish off the Wallabies in the second Test in Melbourne on Saturday.

The Six Nations champions are poised to clinch their first series triumph in Australia after upsetting Michael Cheika’s second-ranked Australians 39-28 in the opening Test in Brisbane last week.

The tourists, who fought back from 10-0 down, have made two changes as Australian Jones, England’s first foreign coach, looks to fix deficiencies he detected in the Brisbane win.

George Ford will start at fly-half with Owen Farrell at inside centre, while winger Jack Nowell has been promoted for his work-rate to keep the marauding Wallabies star fullback Israel Folau in check.

"We’ve had a fantastic week’s preparation, the intensity at training has been there," Jones said Friday.

"The first 20 minutes is going to be instrumental in the game, and we’ve got to make sure we get that first 20 minutes right, which we didn’t get last week.
