Eddie Jones is ready and waiting for the mind games from the Australian media during England's tour of his home country.
The Grand Slam champions landed in Brisbane on Thursday before relocating to their training camp on the Gold Coast, where they will begin preparations for the first of three Tests against the Wallabies.
And the England head coach is well aware of the tactics that will be used to try to destabilise his team having used them himself as Australia coach during the World Cup in 2003.
Among the many tricks used against Martin Johnson's men was a newspaper printing a voodoo doll in the image of Jonny Wilkinson, which readers were asked to cut out and jab with needles.
It didn't work, as Wilkinson's late drop goal sealed England's triumph in the final, but Jones says that won't stop them trying again.
"The media will be up to their tricks, it will be all on! There'll be co-ordinated targets so we'll deal with it how we can," he said.
"I don't know about voodoo dolls but all those things are going to happen. It's going to be a bit of fun and it will mean the Australians are taking England seriously.
"I'm sure they will try to wind me up. They've got a show over there that has 'Eddie Watch' every week, so it's already started.
"They've not come up with anything yet because I've been very well behaved so far. Hopefully I'll keep well behaved.
"Australia will treat the series seriously and that's what we want them to do. They know that we're coming and they know that we're improving."
Players from double winners Saracens will not begin training until Monday to give them a breather after prevailing in successive finals against Racing 92 and Exeter, with the first Test taking place on June 11.
"Seeing some of those Sarries boys and hearing some of the comments afterwards, they've played every game, big games, and we will have to recover them well," added Jones.
"I've just got to work out how the guys that were in the final have come back psychologically and physically because they did look a bit tired.
"They'll have a good recovery and what a great place to have recovery - the Gold Coast. I couldn't think of anything better."
