Coach Eddie Jones and captain Dylan Hartley insist England will not be intimidated by a hostile reception in the first Test against Argentina in San Juan on Saturday night.
The hosts are anticipating a 25,000 capacity crowd at Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario, an outpost for the Argentinian game in the shadow of the Andes, and the tourists can expect a raucous atmosphere.
England will also be severely handicapped by the absence of a raft of experienced players, largely due to British and Irish Lions call-ups, but Jones says he is relishing the opportunity to throw a host of newcomers into the cauldron.
Jones said: "I remember playing against Argentina in 2002 at River Plate. We are looking forward to it.
"This is the sort of test we want. We are lucky that on a Lions year instead of going to play tier-two countries, England play a tier-one country.
"I think that's an enormous advantage for us because we get to blood these young players against very good players, so we get to see where they are up to.
"You can go out and play a tier-two country and you can get a false opinion of a player because they are playing against tier-two players.
"We are a tier-one country that wants to be number one in the world. We have such a great schedule."
And Hartley echoed the coach's comments: "I hope lots of people turn up. We want a big test for the players.
"We want a good atmosphere and a good, hard game. Like Eddie said, we want to test these younger players and test the squad.
"We want to grow the depth of the team and push the team forward. These are the places we want to come to play and test ourselves."
Among the new faces are Sale flanker Tom Curry, who at 18 years and 360 days will become the youngest player to start a Test for England since Colin Laird in 1927.
Jones added: "We are missing 30 players through Lions, injury and other issues so it is definitely our strongest side.
"With any Test team you want to get the balance right, bringing young players through that have got experienced players around them. because we don't them to be a one-cap wonder.
"You want them to have a good experience. Just go into the Twickenham dressing room and there is a lot of one-cappers there.
"We want blokes bringing through who are playing 20, 30, 40, 50 Tests. When you have got players who have played 40 or 50 Tests you know you have got a winning team.
"You don't expect them to be world beaters on their first start but it is a process. I remember giving Matt Giteau his debut when he was 19 and still an amateur player. He went on and played 103 Tests but in his first Test he was terrible.
"He dropped the first ball, threw two bounce passes and was absolute rubbish. In the second Test he came on and played 10 minutes and was a little bit better and then his career blossomed.
"So you have got to expect young guys to make mistakes and we are prepared to invest in some good, young talent here that we believe can help the side in the future.
"We have just got to beat them with energy and enthusiasm. It is easy. It is not a hard equation: If you haven't got experience, you have got to be more energetic, you have got to be more enthusiastic."
