Giteau expects more from England backs
Matt Giteau says the Qantas Wallabies backline took a massive step forward in Perth, but expects the big England backs to give them a sterner test on Saturday night.
Australia's blossoming backline created three tries in the 27-17 first Test win last Saturday, while the tourists were restricted to two penalty tries from Australian scrum infringements.

England manager Martin Johnson has admitted that his team 's playing "catch-up" to the Southern Hemisphere giants, but added that they have to close that gap very quickly.
Having played to a 28-all drawn with the Aussie BaaBaas in Perth last week and then came unstuck (a 17-27 defeat) against the Wallabies at the weekend, Johnson admitted the Southern Hemisphere game is "a step up" even from the Six Nations.
