England prop Ellis Genge is embracing the chance to face off against Taniela Tupou in their second test match against the Wallabies at Suncorp Stadium tonight.

Tupou is a major return for the Wallabies, returning from a significant calf injury in his home state, having missed November's defeat at Twickenham due to a concussion.

Genge says he loves playing against the best tight-heads in the world.

He says he has never played against Tupou but has seen his highlights.

The Wallabies will meet England at 9.55 tonight.

In other international matches, the All Blacks will take on Ireland at 7.05 tonight, South Africa will face Wales at 3.05am tomorrow, and Argentina will meet Scotland at 7.10am tomorrow.
