England coach Andy Robinson does not think his team's one-sided win over Australia at Twickenham in November will have any bearing on this month's two tests.

The England forwards overwhelmed the Wallabies' pack last time the teams met, the front row embarrassing their opposite numbers to lay the platform for a win that was more emphatic than the 26-16 scoreline suggests.

"It is six months since the last time we played so there is no great psychological advantage for us," Robinson told reporters. "They have a new coaching set-up and I expect a very different Australian side."

Robinson is looking for his young and inexperienced team to front up following a disappointing Six Nations campaign. Lock Alex Brown, scrumhalf Peter Richards and flanker Magnus Lund make their debuts, winger Tom Varndell starts a test for the first time, and centre Mathew Tait and second rower Louis Deacon play only their second internationals.
