England and Australia's breakdown battle set to decide Twickenham clash

England face Australia at Twickenham on Sunday in a match where the breakdown battle is expected to be decisive, with both teams making notable back row selections. The hosts aim to avoid a repeat of their 42-21 defeat to Ireland in March, where they lost 14 turnovers. England have selected Ben Curry as their primary jackaller, alongside Ollie Chessum and Ben Earl, while Australia feature Fraser McReight, who won the John Eales Medal as their player of the year. England's coaching staff have acknowledged the difficulty of adapting from domestic to Test-level breakdown competition. Australia were exposed by New Zealand in the Bledisloe Cup series last month, with the All Blacks' speed at the ruck proving effective. England's lineup includes Henry Pollock among the replacements, while Australia have opted for Jeremy Williams on the blindside.
