Andy Farrell has said that England are desperate for a win against South Africa this weekend.
England are coming off a defeat to Australia, having easily beaten Fiji in their opening match of the series.
The backs coach told Sky Sports News: "We played against a very good Australia side last week who, by their own reckoning, played their best game of the year.
"Throughout the whole game we were right on the edge of winning, so we can take the positives from that. But this is a game coming up that we're desperate to win.
"You've got to make sure you take your defence to the opposition's attack instead of letting the attack take their game to you - at times at the weekend Australia did that."
England take on South Africa at Twickenham on Saturday.
