Writing in The Telegraph, Mick Cleary calls for England to play with the kind of passion and intensity that Martin Johnson would have shown.
"Will their team show wit and sparkle that might gladden the soul? Or will they retreat into a cocoon of caution again, hoofing and huffing, making grown men weep at the hole in their wallet caused by such mind-numbing rubbish? These are edgy times. These are defining times.
It is time for Martin Johnson's side to play like Martin Johnson: with ferocity, ardour and gumption. Show us your 'mana', as the Kiwis might say. In the image of the man, England have to make a statement at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon: namely, to front up."
