England want victory at any cost

The Wallabies have come under fire after slumping to six straight losses, their worst run of defeats since 1969.

Their latest came on Saturday against France but Latham believes Australia are ready to bounce back this weekend.

"The most disappointing thing about it all is that we know we are better than the way we are performing," he said.

"We are performing at training the best I have ever seen any Australia squad train.

"We have some of the most talented individuals in world rugby in one team and it is small things that are losing us Test matches.

"But behind all the frustration there is a lot of confidence, there is a belief we are not that far off. We could easily click and we know if that happens it could be a good feeling.

We are a very confident squad and have very confident individuals Chris Latham

"Playing England over here has always been a huge challenge and an exciting challenge to be part of. It's been a while since we had a good win at Twickenham."

Australia suffered a winless Tri-Nations this summer and defeat over France has increased the pressure on coach Eddie Jones, who admits that he has never felt lower.

And former international David Campese and former coach Alan Jones have added their views, calling for captain George Gregan to be axed.

Jones has forced to bring in fresh faces after suffering a long list of injuries but Latham, 30, admits he has been energised by the youngsters.

"It is an exciting time. We have 18-year-olds in the squad, they bring an enormous amount of enthusiasm and innocence and that is very infectious for a guy like myself," said Latham.

"We are a very confident squad and have very confident individuals. That is the main ingredient of this whole touring squad.

"It's not all doom and gloom when you are losing. It's individually very character-building. It's a good team environment to build yourself within."
