England V New Zealand rugby match in autumn Internationals

England V New Zealand rugby match on Saturday in
Autumn Internationals 2009. Crowd will be inspired by the legions of amateur players and school children turning out for clubs along the M62 corridor.

The Leeds Rhinos forward started playing rugby matches at the Stanningley club in West Yorkshire and his memories of those days will ensure he is full of motivation when he captains England at Huddersfield's Galpharm Stadium in the crunch Gillette Four Nations game.

"It's also a patriotic thing. But you're not just representing the professional lads but also the blokes who run around working five days a week and play amateur rugby league. You're representing every one of them as well.

"They watch the game and they wish they could be out there playing but they're not so you represent that part of their life. Some people's lives are immersed in rugby league. That's; what their lives revolve around so when we win it's fantastic for them and when we lose it's horrible.

"When you get to this level you don't really need rallying calls from the skipper. It's just about making the most of your opportunities because you've got to realise you don't get many opportunities at this level and games like this only come along so you've got to make the most of them.

"You only play three or four games a year for your country but in the Super League you might end up wracking up 300 games and there might be 50 big matches in there. Whereas at international level if you play 25 times you've had a great career and only five or six game really stick out in that – career-defining ones so you've got to grab them with both hands."

"Success is the easy route. You can talk all you want about marketing and discounted tickets but if you are successful the people will watch to come and watch us in action."

"I have loved captaining England - it has been all I wanted and more but I just wish we'd got better results," Peacock continued.

"There have been some really tough times because of that but I always feel you learn more from adversity and failures rather than when you're victorious. If you learn from defeats you can move on but if you dwell then you'll get nowhere quickly."

"Everyone is getting to know each other more on and off the field. The more you train with each other the more you get to know each other's little habits. That will help us gel as a team which bodes well for the future."

A battle of England V Argentina at Twickenham

LONDON — World Cup-winning hooker Steve Thompson was recalled on Monday to an injury-hit England squad for next month's Tests at Twickenham having himelf briefly retired from rugby because of a neck problem.


England manager Martin Johnson, who was Thompson's World Cup winning captain six years ago, has lost nearly two teams' worth of players because of injuries for next month's Tests against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand, including his first-choice front row.


Thompson retired in April 2007 after a neck operation but the now 31-year-old returned months later to play for Brive, having initially joined the French club as a coach.


He did make a brief England return with an appearance off the bench late-on in June's 37-15 win over Argentina but this was seen as a stop-gap effort.


Ironically, given his injury problems since landing the winning drop-goal in the 2003 World Cup final, fly-half Jonny Wilkinson - also now playing his club rugby in France, for Toulon - was fit enough to be included in the revised 32-man squad.


Johnson's selection saw him pick three uncapped players in forwards David Barnes, Richard Blaze and Courtney Lawes while prop Duncan Bell returned after a gap of four years.


"The whole squad is looking forward to three very tough games in November," Johnson said. "We've had to make a number of changes because of injuries but we have strength in depth.


"Each of the players coming in has the opportunity to push themselves into contention for the 2nd match England v Argentina on November 14."



Highly-rated lock Lawes, still only 20, got his chance after Nick Easter tore a calf muscle during Harlequins's 26-22 Premiership win over Worcester on Saturday that saw him ruled out for four weeks.


That day also saw veteran Leicester prop Julian White sidelined after tearing a hamstring in the 18-12 Premiership loss to London Irish.


Veteran prop White's injury came just days after it was confirmed ex-England captain Phil Vickery was ruled out for three months because of back surgery.


Fellow prop Andrew Sheridan was already sidelined for at least four months with a dislocated shoulder.

With hooker Lee Mears already out because of knee ligament damage, Johnson had to revamp what was an all British and Irish Lions front row while experienced lock Simon Shaw is currently injured as well.


And there have been injuries behind the scrum, with full-back Delon Armitage (shoulder), centre Riki Flutey (shoulder), fly-half Toby Flood (knee) and scrum-half Harry Ellis (knee) seeing their squad spots taken by David Strettle, Shane Geraghty, Andy Goode and Richard Wigglesworth respectively.


Saracens second-row Steve Borthwick, England's captain last season, has retained the leadership of the team for all three Tests.


"Steve has been appointed captain and I'm sure he will continue to do an excellent job," Johnson said.

Revised England 32-man squad for the November internationals against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand:

Backs


Matt Banahan (Bath), Danny Care (Harlequins), Mark Cueto (Sale), Ben Foden (Northampton), Shane Geraghty (Northampton), Andy Goode (Brive/FRA), Dan Hipkiss (Leicester), Paul Hodgson (London Irish), Ugo Monye (Harlequins), David Strettle (Harlequins), Mathew Tait (Sale), Mike Tindall (Gloucester), Richard Wigglesworth (Sale), Jonny Wilkinson (Toulon/FRA)

England V Argentina Hospitality on Twickenham at Sat Nov 14, 2009

England v Argentina (Sat)

Venue: Twickenham Date: 14 November Kick-off: 1430 GMT

Coverage: Commentary on 5 live, live text commentary on BBC Sport website; Highlights on BBC Three at 1915 and on Sunday, 8 November on BBC Two

A new-look England will look to Jonny Wilkinson to help launch the second year of Martin Johnson's reign with a Twickenham victory over Australia.


Wilkinson's return to Test duty for the first time in 18 months is a timely boost given a lengthy injury list.

Fellow World Cup winners Lewis Moody and Steve Thompson are also back, while Shane Geraghty, Matt Banahan, David Wilson and Jordan Crane get chances.


The Wallabies have won on two of their last three visits to west London.


But they arrive at Twickenham having lost six of their last seven Tests, albeit the defeats coming against southern hemisphere super-powers South Africa and New Zealand.

Under-pressure coach Robbie Deans is in no doubt as to what sort of challenge awaits his side as they play the first of successive Tests against the four home unions.

"It's going to be a ferocious contest," Deans said. "It's England at Twickenham, that's the way it is, we will have to work for everything we get."

England's preparations for their opening autumn Test have been affected by a raft of injuries, with only four of the players on duty in the corresponding fixture last year starting on Saturday.


But despite the disruptions, Johnson - whose managerial record reads five wins and six losses from his 11 Tests - believes his men are in better shape than 12 months ago, when they suffered heavy defeats by Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.


"Even though there have been changes, the squad has a better feel to it in terms of spirit than it did," he said.


"For guys to go and win Test matches, you have to have trust in each other."

Wilkinson's return for the first time since the end of the 2008 Six Nations should provide reassurance to an inexperienced backline, with Geraghty starting his first Test outside the celebrated fly-half and fellow centre Dan Hipkiss only his fifth.


Ugo Monye, in the absence of the injured Delon Armitage, is switched from his usual wing position to full-back.

Thompson glad to be back

Up front there will be much interest in the return of hooker Thompson for his first Test start since 2006, having retired for nine months in 2007 before a second opinion on a neck injury.


With Nick Easter among the casualties, number eight Crane has a chance to establish his credentials in his first Test start, as does Wilson at tight-head prop, with veterans Phil Vickery and Julian White also sidelined.


Emerging lock Courtney Lawes and the powerful centre Ayoola Erinle could also make Test debuts as impact replacements.


Australia are also weakened by injuries, with Quade Cooper and Digby Ioane forming an inexperienced centre pairing in the absence of first-choice duo Berrick Barnes and Stirling Mortlock.






But seasoned flanker George Smith, the fifth most capped player in Test history as he prepares for his 107th Test, returns to bolster a solid pack led by the rugged Rocky Elsom.its a prepation of Six Nations



If their forwards generate sufficient ball, the Wallabies will pose a significant threat with ball in hand, with half-backs Will Genia and Matt Giteau providing the spark.


"When I think about Australia, I think of a certain professionalism, and a major strength is that tactically they can work better than any other team," says Wilkinson, who has tasted victory in his last six encounters with the Wallabies for England, including the 2003 World Cup final.


"You have to be 100% on your toes. As soon as you're not, they'll pull you apart."

England: U Monye; M Cueto, D Hipkiss, S Geraghty, M Banahan; J Wilkinson, D Care; T Payne, S Thompson, D Wilson, L Deacon, S Borthwick (capt), T Croft, L Moody, J Crane.

Replacements: D Hartley, D Bell, C Lawes, J Haskell, P Hodgson, A Goode, A Erinle.
