Maro Itoje wants England to put their Six Nations disappointment behind them and prove to Twickenham supporters they have turned a corner against Australia.

England captain Maro Itoje has challenged his squad to move past their Six Nations disappointment and win back the Twickenham supporters in their clash against Australia. Itoje returns to lead the national team after taking the summer off during England's Nations Championship commitments.
The fixture marks England's return to Twickenham, where their previous appearance ended in a 42-21 defeat against Ireland in February during Itoje's 100th cap. Following what was described as England's worst Six Nations campaign, the 32-year-old lock called on his teammates to set the tone and prove they have turned a corner.
