Luther Burrell wants England to change history in Australia

England centre Luther Burrell wants his team to create history by registering their maiden Test series victory over the Wallabies in Australia ahead of the first Test in Brisbane on Saturday.

England under their new coach Eddie Jones have remained undefeated and went on to win their first Grand Slam in 13 years during the 2016 Six Nations tournament.

In the 17 matches they have played against the Wallabies in Australia, England have managed just three victories and are yet to register a Test series victory.

Admitting playing against Australia will be a big challenge, Burrell wants England to play with a positive mindset.

"Well we haven't got an aura but what we have got is a growing confidence. I see the side day in, day out grow a little bit," Jones said.

"The leadership of Dylan (Hartley) has been influential. The guys are stepping up to support him.

"There are baby steps. Saturday night is a big test for us. Australia are by far the best side we will have played and we will find out where we are at.

"We've got to do something different here. We can't do what's been done with previous England teams.

"We've got to have a different mindset and a different way of how we play the game against Australia, to change history. We have got that opportunity on Saturday night."

Burrell, who controversially lost his place in England's 2015 World Cup campaign to Sam Burgess, was recalled for the Wales encounter and Australian tour in the place of Manu Tuilagi, who suffered a hamstring injury.

The 28-year-old made a try-scoring return for England in the Old Mutual Wealth Cup encounter against Wales and was named in the starting line-up for the first Test in Brisbane ahead of rugby league convert Ben Te'o.

Burrell revealed his conversation with Jones after his exclusion from the Six Nations tournament where the former Australian described the Northamton centre as "grossly overweight".

Desperate to revive his England career back, Burrell shed eight kilograms following a diet plan and intense training which paid results as he earned a re-call for the Wales clash and the three-Test tour of Australia.

"I got a bit of stick when Eddie said I came into camp 'grossly overweight', as you can imagine! Eddie thinks it was fat, but it was lean muscle!"

"Eddie wanted me to be quicker, sharper and fitter, so I really had to work on that. I needed to be more agile so that I'm not one-dimensional. I was struggling to do that with the extra 8kgs I was carrying.

"It was hard to lose that weight when you're playing week-in, week-out, so I made small sacrifices like laying off the chocolate and pizza for a while."
