WORCESTER Warriors' skipper Pat Sand-erson will take a bite at rugby giants New Zealand after being named in an unchanged England line-up for Saturday's match.

Sanderson, 28, continues at number six for the Twickenham showdown between the world champions and the Kiwis who are the current top-ranked team.

The Worcester flanker played an important role in the fine 26-16 victory over Australia last weekend and has been rewarded with his second run-out in a row.

England head coach Andy Robinson's bid to keep the same team had been resting on Sale Sharks' fly-half Charlie Hodgson who suffered a groin injury.

But Hodgson has been declared fit so Bath's Olly Barkley, the potential replacement, must be content with a place among the substitutes.

Robinson will look for another power-packed display from his forwards after they demolished the Wallabies but England find themselves in an unfamiliar position of going into a Twickenham Test as clear un-derdogs.

He insisted: "We have got to step up in all areas. We have got to be more physical and when we get opportunities we have to take them.

"We have got be more ruthless in our approach. We dropped off a number of one-on-one tackles in the game against Australia.

"Against New Zealand, they will take those.

"We have got to be in their faces. We have got to apply as much pressure as possible, physically and mentally."
