The England v Australia Rugby betting for the first serious test of Martin Johnson's England (10/11) will come this weekend against the touring Australia (10/11) side at Twickenham on Saturday. England will be desperate to build on their 39-13 victory over the Pacific Islanders last weekend, their first win under 2003 World Cup winning captain Jonno. The former lock has already attempted to imprint his determined character on the new set-up, demanding the workman-like, winning mentality which saw England lift the Webb Ellis Trophy five years ago.

Another former captain, Phil Vickery, has been called in to replace Matt Stevens in the front row - the Wasps man is the only survivor in the team from England's world champions. Vickery, capped 64 times for his country, is happy just to be playing for England again and said he is not upset with Johnson for stripping him of the armband. He commented: "It is everything to me and to be captain of your country is a huge honour so when Jonno told me I was disappointed - but at the same time you don't hang your hat on that.
"If you get hooked up on accolades you are a pretty sad individual. I want to play for England and be involved with this team." Australia come into the contest on the back of a 20-30 win over Italy on the first stop of their European Tour. The Wallabies did not show much to suggest that they can beat England at Twickenham, having lost four times in their past five previous visits to HQ. It was left to Quade Cooper to rescue the tourists with a try on 72 minutes, but Australia coach Robbie Deans is confident his side can rise to the challenge. He said: "There's great history in the sporting rivalry between Australia and England and Twickenham is a great stadium and a special ground to play on. We're looking forward to what we anticipate will be a great occasion."
