MARO Itoje is targeting a clean sweep of four Test wins this autumn as the England captain begins the countdown to the 2027 World Cup.

Joe Schmidt's resurgent Australia visit Allianz Stadium today (3.10pm kick off) to launch a series which is completed by fixtures against Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina.

The All Blacks provide the blockbuster opposition of the campaign on November 15, but dangerous Fiji won on their last visit to Twickenham in 2023 while the Pumas are a force on the global stage once more.

"There's not a team we're playing who we can't beat," British and Irish Lions skipper Itoje said.

"We want to go and win all our games. Every player should definitely aspire to that. Our fans should expect us to have the same mindset.
