England have been backed into a corner – it should bring out their best against Australia | Ugo Monye

Former England international Ugo Monye believes England are well-placed to defeat Australia in their autumn international opener, arguing that Steve Borthwick's side historically performs best when feeling under pressure. Monye highlights captain Maro Itoje's role in managing the team's emotions, drawing parallels to England's strong showing against France in the Six Nations despite that result not going their way. He states his confidence in an England victory has grown through the week, citing the team's expected siege mentality as a galvanising factor.
