England has gone for size in an attempt to bully Australia into submission in their Four Nations clash at Wigan's DW Stadium.
Coach Tony Smith has made two changes in personnel for Saturday, from the side that struggled to beat France in their opening game - bringing in Wigan half-back Sam Tomkins and Huddersfield's giant prop Eorl Crabtree.
They take the places of teenage scrum-half Richie Myler and out-of-form hooker Scott Moore as England seek the win that would put them through to the November 14 final with a game in hand.
Smith has also re-shuffled his pack, switching captain Jamie Peacock from the front to the second row to accommodate prop James Graham in the starting line-up in anticipation of a fiery start to the match.
"We've got a big pack and we consider that as part of our strength," Smith told a news conference at the team's Manchester hotel.
"This is another way of having some more big people on the field."
"When I reviewed the game last week I thought James Graham was very good."
England will have even greater presence in reserve with the 6ft 6in, 18st Crabtree going on to the bench - alongside the exciting and versatile Sam Burgess and Warrington's workaholic forward Ben Westwood.
Crabtree, nephew of the late wrestler 'Big Daddy', missed England's last two matches after undergoing minor knee surgery but is rewarded for an impressive season with Huddersfield and an eye-catching performance against France in June.
"He's a big boy who has had a tremendous season this year," said Smith.
"Even when Huddersfield had a couple of lean games, he's still been a shining light for them."
"He's made a big impact for them off the bench. He's got some offload and some size and second-phase play to his game."
"He's a big man to handle and he's ready for it. He's been itching for this opportunity for years and years now."
While Crabtree has been knocking on the international door for several years, the call-up of Tomkins completes a fairytale first season of Super League for the 20-year-old - who could not get into the Wigan first team until injury to Australian Tim Smith created an opening.
"It's massive," he said.
"I don't think I'll be sleeping until Saturday."
Super League's young player of the year got the nod ahead of Myler, who missed the closing stages of the opening game with concussion.
"Richie has still got a bit of a head knock, but Sam was going to get a chance this week," said Smith.
"It gives us a chance to compare the two and decide which way we go for the final week."
"I've got a lot of faith in both those young men, but it's Sam's opportunity this week. It might be different again next week."
Tomkins, who marked his England debut with a hat-trick of tries against Wales in Bridgend, will have the advantage of playing in front of his home crowd in Wigan.
Smith expects the slightly-built half-back to become a target for the Australian forwards but has every confidence in his ability to stand up to the test.
"He takes everything in his stride," he said.
"People have had a crack at him in Super League this year and tried to break him to see if he would falter."
"I'm sure the Aussies will have a crack at him this weekend. But from what I've seen of the
