Wallabies backrower Rob Valetini believes physicality will be key to deciding the series against England.

Valetini looms as a key game-breaker for Dave Rennie's men ahead of the first Test this Saturday.

The 23-year-old was one of the form players of Super Rugby Pacific and is eager to translate his physical edge into results against a dominant England side.

Valetini says they are focusing on their set-piece areas and things they can control.

He says a lot of focus on their scrums and mauls and trying to be physical there and deliver good ball to backs.

The Wallabies will take on England at 9.55pm Saturday.

In other international Test-matches, Japan will meet France at 6pm Saturday, the All Blacks will face Ireland at 7.05pm Saturday, South Africa will play Wales at 3.05am Sunday, and Scotland will meet Uruguay at 7.10am Sunday.
