Australia coach Tim Sheens has dismissed claims that rain during tomorrow's Four Nations clash with England at Wembley will work against his side.
Despite some unseasonably good weather in the English capital this week, rain is forecast to fall over the weekend, and many of the locals believe this could favour Steve McNamara's powerful forward pack.
However, Sheens, who's been forced to leave prop David Shillington out of his side because of an ankle injury, is confident his side's strong kicking game will ensure they have the upper hand.
"The grounds today ensure you don't get those dour slugfests anymore," Sheens said after announcing his team at the Hard Rock Cafe in London yesterday.
"Wet grounds with a surface like Wembley means it's just slippery. That means your kicking game becomes more important.
