England captain Dylan Hartley says preparations for the second Test against Australia in Melbourne could not have gone much better this week.
The Six Nations champions are on the brink of clinching their first series triumph in Australia after upsetting Michael Cheika's side 39-28 in the opening Test of the three-match series in Brisbane last week.
Coach Eddie Jones has made two team changes, handing starts to fly-half George Ford and winger Jack Nowell. Owen Farrell has been shifted to inside centre to accommodate Ford, while Nowell replaces Marland Yarde, who has dropped out of the squad.
Now Hartley is relishing the opportunity to take on the World Cup finalists on Saturday, telling Sky Sports: "The focus has been on ourselves this week to train hard and get the fundamentals right, not be complacent and go to another level again.
"We go again - that's the message. We're desperate and I think that's reflected in the way that we train and the way we've prepared.
"We've left no stone unturned this week. We're desperate to win this week.
"I keep going on about it but we're so hungry to improve as a team, we're hungry to win this series and hungry to make history."
Cheika has made four changes to his side, including a new-look front row where Sekope Kepu and James Slipper join captain and hooker Stephen Moore.
And Cheika said the pain of the Brisbane defeat would drive his players to level the series.
"Of course, we want to bounce back. It hurts losing, it hurts a lot, there's no brushing that away and that pain still sits inside you," he said.
"And that's what drives you because you don't want that pain of losing. That's the bit that drives the lot of us.
"The feeling you get after the game in the dressing room, the great emotions of victory and then the pain and hardship of losing, but you get over it and you get on to the next thing."
The Wallabies coach said he has been working on rectifying the problems that cost them victory last week, but was happy with his side's attack.
"I thought they were pretty good in attack last week," he said.
"I don't think we lacked anything in the attacking sector. So if they were to attack like they did last week and create the same opportunities again I would be pleased."
