AUSTRALIA winger Josh Addo-Carr insists pulling on the Kangaroos jersey always brings out the best in players after they went into an unassailable 2-0 lead over England in rugby league's Ashes.

Australia followed up their first Test victory at Wembley with a hard-fought 14-4 win seven days later at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium against a vastly improved England side who were on top for much of the first period.

Australia defended strongly before flexing their muscles in attack with two tries in five minutes from Cameron Munster and Hudson Young.

Addo-Carr is one of the more senior figures in the Australia camp at 30 years old and with over 200 NRL games under his belt.

The winger has played in 15 State of Origin matches and Saturday's game was his ninth Test match in the Green and Gold.
