OLLIE LAWRENCE admits he is stepping into the unknown when he takes on Australia’s rugby league superstar Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii at Twickenham on Saturday.
England centre Lawrence lines up opposite Suaalii after the 21-year-old was given his Test debut less than a month after switching to union from NRL side Sydney Roosters.
