HOOKERS: Cameron Smith is hugely important for the Kangaroos, with the 2007 Golden Boot winner maintaining Australia's proud tradition of brilliant number nines.

Hugely powerful from dummy-half, one potential worry is that Smith is likely to have to play the whole 80 minutes with no obvious replacement on the bench.

James Roby is arguably England's most important player at the Telstra Dome, with his ability to break off the back of the ruck likely to set the tone.

Roby's speed and eye for a gap make him a constant menace, and England simply cannot afford for him to have a bad game.
