England and Australia will do battle for the 2011 Gillette Four Nations title when they meet at Elland Road on Saturday evening. The game will be officiated by Australian Matt Cecchin. England will meet Australia in buoyant mood after overcoming New Zealand in Hull, and their impressive performance against Australia at Wembley only two weekends ago. Their performance against New Zealand showed a maturity in the England camp that has not been seen. That maturity has been coupled with a determination that has led many supporters to become cautiously optimistic ahead of their encounter with Australia. Elland Road is sold out for the occasion, which indicates that this optimism will be supported by fervent support come 18:00 on Saturday.

Australia have won seven games in a row against England. It is a run that extends back to the 1995 world cup final at Wembley when England were defeat by 16 points to 8. This makes the Australians clear favourites to lift the trophy, but after a scare at Wembley the Australian side will be aware they can not take anything for granted.
Adrian Morley will reach the milestone of 50 international caps and Saturday will see the forward’s 20th cap for England, added to his 30 caps for Great Britain. Morley’s representative career stretches back to 1996, not that the prop’s determination is showing any signs of abating in his 16th year of international competition.
