England head coach Eddie Jones was delighted with Fiji born Bath winger Joe Cokanasiga’s performance as he marked his debut with a try against Japan yesterday.

The 21 year old went over for his side’s third try in the 35‑15 victory over the Brave Blossoms, with Jones predicting a bright future for him.

Looking ahead to this week’s November Test against Australia, Jones believes his team will face a side desperate to end the year on a high.

Jones says Michael Cheika is a "street‑fighter" and that's why the Wallabies will be dangerous in their clash with his England team at Twickenham.

Australia have won a mere four of their last 12 Tests, placing Cheika under pressure with less than a year to go until the World Cup.

While England has won all five meetings with the Wallabies since he took over in 2015.

The Wallabies will face England at 4am this Sunday.

In other Autumn International Tests this Sunday, Ireland will take on USA at 7.30am this Sunday and the Flying Fijians will face France at 8.45am Sunday.
