The team news is in and Eddie Jones has Ollie Chessum at second row (his first start for England). Lewis Ludlam is the second change to the forward pack, while Danny Care replaces Jack van Poortvliet. Billy Vunipola stays at No. 8. Sam Underhill and Maro Itoje were ruled out after suffering concussions in the second Test.

Dave Rennie has named some newbies of his own. Queensland Reds' Harry Wilson and and Melbourne's Reece Hodge will both make their Test debuts, while former NRL star Suli Vunivalu could make his Wallabies debut from the bench.

“We know we’re a much better team than how we played in Brisbane," Rennie told reporters. "We have an opportunity to go to Sydney and lift some silverware in a series decider and that’s something that highly motivates us."

Last week, England dug in to beat Australia 25-17 in the second Test and break a four-game losing streak. A Billy Vunipola try and six Owen Farrell penalties inspired Brisbane win and kept the series alive. England last visited the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1986; the winning side's captain will be presented with the Ella-Mobbs Trophy (aka the Cook Cup).
