Fabio Capello’s England side aren’t the only ones flying the flag of St George on Saturday. The England rugby team is also in the southern hemisphere playing Australia in the first of two tests. They come into the game off an exciting 28-28 draw against the Australian Barbarians earlier this week where they looked strong in the scrum but were outclassed in the back division.

England’s finest moment playing down under was undoubtedly the rugby World Cup win against the Aussies in 2003, and a key member of that side was Mike Catt. Catt, who has just retired from the game to move into coaching, played 75 times for England and appeared in four World Cup tournaments, so there are few better qualified to talk about the current set up.

In this video Catt talks about what touring ‘Down Under’ is like, the importance of a fit Jonny Wilkinson, how the recent pay row will influence the team and who he thinks will win next years rugby World Cup.
