The November series may have come to an end, yet one major Test remains on the calendar for 2017 and what a fixture it is: England vs Australia, Jones vs Cheika IV.Saturday nights showdown between the two great sporting rivals at Twickenham may have lost just the tiniest bit of gloss given Australias grand slam dream went up in smoke in Dublin last weekend, but such is the vitriol - Cheikas words not ours - that has broken out between he and Jones that this Test will have no shortage of spice.England remain undefeated this season, and under Jones, having won 12 Tests on the bounce stretching back to their Six Nations opener. In the autumn, theyve accounted for South Africa, Fiji and Argentina with relative ease - the latter proving the sternest Test after both sides were reduced to 14 men. There is also the fact England swept Australia 3-0 Down Under back in June.And therein lies the motivating factor for a Wallabies side that has endured one its worst seasons of the last couple of decades. A 3-2 return from their spring campaign is satisfactory given their predicament pre-tour, but returning home 4-1 - with a victory over England to boot - would leave a slightly sweeter taste for the offseason after what has been a terribly-trying 2016.Team newsEnglandAustraliaMichael Cheika has made four changes to his side for the Wallabies final Test this year with Kane Douglas, Lopeti Timani, Sefanaia Naivalu and Nick Phipps all recalled as Australia look to bounce back after defeat to Ireland last week.Despite being cleared by a disciplinary hearing on Monday, Dean Mumm has been dropped to the bench alongside wing Henry Speight.Stephen Moore will again lead the side and will become the second most-capped Wallaby in history, behind George Gregan, when he takes the field for the 117th Test on Saturday.?Israel Folau; Dane Haylett-Petty, Tevita Kuridrani, Reece Hodge, Sefanaia Naivalu; Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps; Lopeti Timani, Michael Hooper, David Pocock; Rob Simmons, Kane Douglas; Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore, Scott Sio.Replacements: Tolu Latu, James Slipper, Tom Robertson, Dean Mumm, Sean McMahon, Nick Frisby, Quade Cooper, Henry Speight.Key matchupNathan Hughes vs Lopeti TimaniEngland will feel the absence of Billy Vunipola such has been the No.8s outstanding play in 2016, but they have an adequate replacement in Nathan Hughes. Whether they get the same line-bending ball-running is debatable but Hughes will do a solid job at the back of the scrum. Lopeti Timani is also just starting out in the Test frame, but he has already proven to be the strong carrier Australia lacked when England were Down Under in June.Key stats- England have hosted Australia five times at Twickenham since 2010, and lead the head-to-head count 3-2. However, Australia won their most recent encounter at the venue 33-13 at last years World Cup.- Tevita Kuridrani has scored in each of Australias four Tests in Europe this campaign, one more would see him match Mark Ellas grand slam try feat from 1984.- England are shooting for a fourth straight win over Australia, though their longest winning streak over the Wallabies stands at five matches [2000-2003].WeatherTwickenham is on hand for a cool but dry day come Saturday with an expected top temperature of 7 degrees Celsius.What they saidTactically well beat them but weve got to have a greater will to win than them. Weve got to raise our efforts from this week. This is a one-off game against Australia - the 3-0 series win has nothing to do with it. - England coach Eddie Jones.There was a lot of vitriol about Australia - his [Jones] home nation where he coached and where his opportunities were given to him to catch and grow up as a coach and play. Personally, if youre looking to leave a legacy somewhere, you dont want to hit back at it, do you? Australia coach Michael Cheika.VerdictIts the end of a long, tough year for the Wallabies, but they have a fine opportunity to end season 2017 on a bright note. England coach Eddie Jones has worked wonders in 2016, but his boast immediately after last weeks victory over Argentina that Saturdays Test would be his best win of the year will come back to bite him. Australia arent the same side England rightfully swept 3-0 in June.Australia by five. Cubs Jerseys 2020 . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points.

The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. A lucky champion? An undeserved champion? Or a worthy champion? As Nico Rosberg prepares for match point in Brazil, where he can wrap up the 2016 drivers title with victory, is it time to reconsider the Germans candidature for Formula 1 immortality?Theres no denying Rosbergs CV has imperfections. Conspicuous by its absence is an overtaking move on his Mercedes team-mate - and solitary title rival - Lewis Hamilton. Hes beaten Hamilton off the line on a few occasions this year but those spurts to the first corner owe more to computer software than driver skill. And hes had a lot of luck - or, to be more accurate, Hamilton has had a lot of bad luck. But the fortunes of fate play a part in every sport. If an asterisk was put alongside every champion who enjoyed good luck the rollcall would look like an item of morse code.Nobody, not even Nico or his most committed supporters, is saying he is a faster driver than Hamilton or the best in F1. But is it fair to argue that if Nico does win the title, either in Brazil or Abu Dhabi, it would be fair reward, fair enough, and good fare for Formula 1?Here are seven reasons why Rosberg would be a worthy winner of this years title - if he wins it... It would be a triumph from adversityBarely a year ago, Rosberg looked a broken man - and a broken driver. Whats remarkable about his 2016 title push is that it began less than a week after his lowest moment: Cap spat at the US GP when his mistake allowed Hamilton through to wrap up the title.The following Sunday, displaying admirable fortitude and resilience, Rosberg bounced back with victory in Mexico - the first of seven successive victories for the German. Since the pain in defeat in Austin weve all seen a changed Nico, says an admiring Damon Hill.Whatever your opinion of Rosberg the driver, its impossible not to be impressed by his tenacity. Hes been more consistent than Hamilton Rosberg doesnt have Hamiltons pace. He doesnt have Hamiltons skill at overtaking. And he doesnt have his team-mates capacity to ignite a weekend from the mundane to Box Office entertainment. But neither has Rosberg self-destructed in the manner of Hamilton in Baku, when Lewis crashed into a wall during qualifying, or in Suzuka where Lewis distractions were well snapped and well documented. Rosberg has instead been a model of consistency. His one poor performance occurred on race day in Monaco and his only race-day mistakes, when tangling with Hamilton twice in Spain and Austria and with Max Verstappen in Germany, are open to alternative description.In qualifying, he has scarcely put a wheel off line all year - as testified by the fact he has qualified on the front-row for every single race. As Wolff remarked after the Japanese GP: If you want to be a world champion, you have to minimise mistakes, and thats what Nico is doing. Hell have won it his wayRosberg surprised reporters at the start of 2016 by scoffing at suggestions he needed to get his elbows out and play dirty to prevail over Hamilton. Apparently unconvinced that Mr Nasty would work, Rosberg instead opted to be Mr Nice for 2016. As early as April, his disarming description of Hamilton as the benchmark had become a familiar refrain.Nicos self-discipline has been taken to new levels this year, said Wolff last month. He wouldnt even read a news article that is bad for him because it would annoy him. He just hides everything away that might distract.In the testosterone-driven world of the F1 grid, where the DNA of every driver is built on an unyielding conviction they are uniquely special, Rosbergs self-denial and modesty makes for an unusual approach. But by enabling him to simply focus entirely on his own performances without fretting about any of his team-mates superiorities, its one which has worked for him.To repeat what we wrote in September: Nico doesnt have Hamiltons pace but he has resolve, defiance and a capacity for clear thinking which is standing him in good stead against the occasional torpedo from his team-mate. Hangingg in there isnt a motif legends are written around but its an approach which is working for Nico, a driver whose greatest strength is his acceptance of his weaknesses.dddddddddddd Hes done the hard yardsBeen there, worked it, deserved to win it?As Martin Brundle recently noted: Nico joined Mercedes when they werent successful; he has worked hard and been integral to their development.In other words, hes done the hard yards at Mercedes, shown loyalty and commitment, and seen the good times and bad at Brackley. Does it therefore follow he deserves to reap the rewards? F1 needs a new championBetween them, Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have won the last six drivers world championships and all-but one of the last eight.Regardles of whether Nico is worthy or not, F1 could do with a new champ as a buffer against accusations of predictability. At times this season Rosberg has been exceptionalWhile hes perhaps never hit the heights Hamilton has been capable of scaling throughout his career, a cluster of Rosbergs performances this year have been truly outstanding. Some of his drives have been impeccable, says Hill. Former Mercedes boss Ross Brawn thinks Nico Rosbergs preparation off the track has given him the edge on Lewis Hamilton this year. In China, Nico won by almost forty seconds and had the edge over his team-mate long before Hamilton was scuppered by an engine failure at the start of Q3. In Singapore, his qualifying lap was the best of his career as he out-paced Hamilton by over half a second - the largest such defeat Rosberg has inflicted on Hamilton during their four years together. This is his yearRosberg has never been better and in all probability, given that he is already 31, has been at the absolute peak of his powers in 2016. After Singapore, Wolff said that is the best Nico Rosberg I have ever seen and only Hamilton seems unconvinced Rosberg has raised his game. If he does win the championship this season, it would be fitting he does so in a season when hes actually driven like a champion. And thens the importance of the final act to consider.If Rosberg does win the championship in Brazil then, barring an aberration or a car failure for his team-mate, hell win it in the most worthy way possible: with a race victory.In that scenario, a champion drive for a championship, would anyone really argue he doesnt deserve it?Can Nico Rosberg clinch the title at Interlagos?
