Eddie Jones declares that England are determined to "light up" Twickenham by hunting for New Zealand in the main event of their autumn campaign.
Jones has made three personnel changes for the All Blacks' first visit to London for five years, recalling No.8 Billy Vunipola, centre Manu Tuilagi and wing Jack Nowell.

Vunipola and Tuilagi started the rivals' most recent clash at the 2019 World Cup semi-final when England emerged emphatic 19-7 winners, having earlier faced the haka with an audacious V-shape formation.
It was a thrilling moment of sporting theatre that preceded one of the great performances in English rugby history, and now Australian Jones has promised another spectacle.
"We've got a responsibility to light the crowd up. We want to light the crowd up and whether it's during the haka or post the haka, I don't really care," Jones said.
"The fans can be our 24th player. The noise the crowd made against Japan last Saturday was fantastic.
"The players felt the warmth and pride that the crowd brought and now it's our responsibility to light them up."
Reflecting on where teams go wrong against New Zealand, Jones said: "It's always in the head, it's always in the head. You either make a decision to go at them or you're going to be a spectator."
Fixtures against All Blacks have become so rare - England have met New Zealand only twice since 2014 - that Saturday's (Sunday AEDT) collision has generated excitement through its sheer scarcity value.
Jones has repeatedly referenced England's win ratio of 19 per cent against the traditional powerhouses of the sport - comprised of eight wins and one draw in 42 games - to illustrate the challenge that awaits.
"Everyone's excited. This is like if you're a mountain climber going to the top of Mount Everest," Jones said.
"New Zealand are historically the most successful team in world rugby and the team you want to play against.
"It takes a massive effort to beat them and our players understand that. We're prepared for it. We're going after them, they're not coming after us."
The All Blacks enter the match armed with a six-Test winning run, but prior to that they had lost six out of their previous eight games to jeopardise the future of head coach Ian Foster.
"We expect the best version of them. It's the last game of their tour and they want to finish the tour well," Jones said.
"It's been a tough old year for them in which they've had a lot of criticism, but they ended up winning the Rugby Championship so they did well and that shows how much they can get their mind on the job.
"The history of New Zealand rugby is that once they've been beaten by someone, they want to right that and this is obviously the next opportunity they've got since the World Cup.
"They've got to put pictures of being with the family on the beach, water-skiing, all those beautiful things in New Zealand out of their heads. Sometimes that can be hard, but they're a good enough team to do that."
