Woodward questioned whether three of New Zealand’s four tries scored against England last weekend would have been allowed by a northern hemisphere official.

While Woodward has not criticised the All Blacks or referee Jonathan Kaplan, he wants clear interpretation across the board after New Zealand attackers without the ball were seen to run straight at – and past – England’s defensive line.

“We are looking for one intepretation of the law, which states quite clearly what is obstruction, and what isn’t,” said Jones.

“Having decoy runners in attack makes the opposition defenders think. There has been a bit of a hoo-hah this week, but Paul Honiss is one of the form referees in the world.

“We have got every confidence in him,” Jones added.

The Australian coach has been far more preoccupied with working out ways of beating England, something that the Wallabies didn’t accomplish on their last two Twickenham visits.

And having already suffered a defeat against Ireland on tour, Australia are determined to make a statement of intent, less than 12 months before defending their world title Down Under.

“We were disappointed with the Ireland defeat, but this is another week, and you move on,” Jones added.

“When you are successful, you carry expectation, so when you lose a game, it is a burden. But you have got to be good enough to move on and keep at it.”

Jones has changed half his pack for the England clash, drafting in Bill Young, Jeremy Paul, Justin Harrison and Dan Vickerman, while an interesting tactical switch behind the scrum sees Elton Flatley at inside centre and Stirling Mortlock switched to wing.

Experienced hooker Paul, back in the side after recovering from a hamstring strain, has no doubt about the importance of tomorrow’s 75,000 sell-out encounter.

“Every time you come on a northern hemisphere tour, then England is the biggest game,” he said.

“There are a lot of our guys on this trip who played at Twickenham last year, so we are looking forward to the challenge. It is going to be a big battle for us.”

Jones added: “Last year, we played France in Marseille, but then going to Argentina and playing at the River Plate made Marseille seem like a garden party.

“Twickenham, complete with a capacity crowd of 75,000, is going to be another big day, and one that we are all looking forward to.

“We have selected a very flexible side, and we are talking about the whole 22 here, so I would expect players to play in different positions during the game.

“This is our best 22, after taking into account injuries and form in the matches against Argentina and Ireland.”
