Waugh keen on final fling
By James Standley

Phil Waugh in action for Australia
Waugh is confident Australia will not be found wanting on Saturday
Australia flanker Phil Waugh says there is no danger of the Wallabies being tired when they face England despite it being the last game of their season.

England blamed end-of-season fatigue as one of the reasons for their heavy defeat by Australia in June.

But Waugh insisted: "Physically everyone feels pretty good.

"We've got 80 minutes and then we've got two months off so there should be no lack of enthusiasm at Twickenham on Saturday afternoon."

We haven't been successful at Twickenham for numerous years now

Waugh added: "The English season has only been going for a couple of months so they're probably in peak fitness but we've done a lot of hard work and we'd like to think we're match fit as well.

"We certainly don't look at is as a disadvantage - that's part of international rugby.

"There's no lack of motivation for this one. Every time you play England it's a huge occasion.

"We haven't been successful at Twickenham for numerous years now so we'd love to come away with a win."
