• Youngs one of only two players to have played a knockout tie
Ben Youngs has called on England to fly out of the blocks against Australia on Saturday after pinpointing a slow start as the reason they lost their last World Cup quarter-final eight years ago.
Youngs is one of only two members of the England XV to start a World Cup knockout match, having been part of the side who lost to France eight years ago along with Manu Tuilagi. That day France led by 16 points after 31 minutes and England were unable to recover.
