Both sides have an unsettled look about them, making it difficult to predict what is going to happen when the game kicks off, says Tim Human, but he?s going with England anyway...

England against Australia has historically been one of the world's fiercest rugby rivalries, but this time round the build-up to the encounter has been somewhat muted. There may be many reasons for this - the most obvious being that neither team is much good.

The Wallabies were smashed by their Southern Hemisphere rivals in the Tri-Nations this year, while Wales and Ireland have overtaken the Poms as the leaders in European competition.

A 'rebuilding phase' is a much used excuse for poor form and the Aussies certainly have gone to town with it in recent times. Sure, they have a new captain in Rocky Elsom and a host of new faces in the squad, but Robbie Deans will know that losing against a makeshift England team will be a disaster.

Injuries have decimated Martin Johnson's squad and he is without half of his first choice starting line-up. But English fans would gladly give up most of these of players for the one man who is fighting fit for the first time in a long while, Jonny Wilkinson.

The return of the flyhalf hero - together with his World-Cup winning teammates Steve Thompson and Lewis Moody - rekindles memories of the golden era in English rugby and even the Aussie press are in a panic over the return of their old nemesis.

Both sides have an unsettled look about them and it difficult to predict what is going to happen when the game kicks off in front of a full-house at Twickenham. But I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

Australia will come out firing in the opening stages, with some enterprising running from Matt Giteau, Quade Cooper and the rest of the young and exciting Wallaby backline. That adventure might get them a try and an early lead, but slowly the England pack and 'Wilko's' pinpoint boot will start to suffocate the Australian's fast-paced game.

The injury-plagued star's unerring accuracy off the tee and an inevitable drop-goal or two will keep the scoreboard ticking and will be enough to see England through for the win, but only just.

The contrasting styles in the duel between Wilkinson and Giteau will be fascinating and there are bound to only be a few points in it at the end, but when it's still anybody's game in the last twenty minutes there is only one man who you would want calling the shots - even if he last did it six years ago.
