Barritt believes England will respond

England centre Brad Barritt believes the side will respond with their backs against the wall this weekend against Australia.

The Rugby World Cup hosts must win to make the quarter-finals after losing to Wales.

"The loss (last week) was devastating for all of us but now this is a must-win game. This team has incredible resilience. We have had setbacks in the past and always responded well," Barritt said.

"There is always perspective after a loss but our destiny is in our own hands and we have to put that defeat behind us and move on.

"We are definitely going to be throwing the kitchen sink at this.

"We know this game is bigger than last week (against Wales) because it affects the outcome of the tournament. It is about keeping fire in your belly and ice in your head."
