“I think the guys have shown great character all through the Summer Series so far,” said Murphy.
“Firstly with France, we got them on a really good day, and then South Africa were very big, very powerful.
“It’s a big learning curve for us. We’ve got a new group together, quite a few young lads have come in since the Six Nations.
“It’s going to be difficult (against England). It’s another massive, big physical challenge. England have size about them.
“We just have to look after ourselves, tidy our own game up and go back to the basics of ball carrying and looking after the ball, the clean out and imposing our game on England.”
