England's rugby team has sought the expertise of their cricket counterparts in a bid to enhance their mental approach and tactics ahead of Saturday's crucial autumn Test against Australia. The coaching staff, led by head coach Steve Borthwick, held meetings with England cricket boss Brendon McCullum and his assistants, who are famous for implementing a 'fearless' brand of cricket known as 'Bazball'.
During their discussions, Wigglesworth highlighted the key focus areas of the English cricket coaching staff's approach. "We talked about loads of stuff and there was a lot of mindset stuff," he said. "I asked Brendon how he changed that in English cricket, which was really interesting. Then we got into the technicalities of coaching someone one-on-one, what that looks like, his role as head coach in that versus his assistants."
Brendon McCullum's 'Bazball' approach has seen England achieve impressive results on the pitch, with a significant emphasis placed on speed and aggression. The England rugby team is now drawing inspiration from this mindset to enhance their own mental toughness and strategy ahead of facing Australia.
The Wallabies are currently ranked seventh in the world, but they have shown promise recently, including a thrilling 19-15 win over Japan on Saturday. However, England are still favourites for the encounter at Allianz Stadium, with the rugby team looking to exploit any weaknesses in the Australian side and gain an early advantage in their Ashes series.
The series against Australia is set to be a pivotal moment for both teams, with the English cricket team looking to regain the Ashes for the first time since winning in 2013. The Wallabies, meanwhile, will aim to bounce back from a disappointing Rugby Championship campaign and prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the rugby world.
The stage is set for an intense and closely-fought battle between two of the sport's most esteemed teams, with both sides ready to give it their all. Will England's 'Bazball' approach pay dividends on the pitch, or will Australia prove to be too much for them? The outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – this autumn Test is shaping up to be a truly unforgettable encounter.

Their new 'mental toughness' and strategy sessions with the cricket crew are giving me all sorts of hope for Saturday's match 
I mean, who wouldn't want to learn from Brendon McCullum's fearless approach? It's all about being aggressive, fast-paced, and mentally tough 
That sounds like a winning formula to me. I'm not gonna lie, I've always been skeptical of the Ashes series being as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be 
But if England can bring that same 'Bazball' energy to the pitch, I think we might see something special 
Bring on Saturday!
. It shows they're not afraid to adapt and try new things to gain an edge. Their mental toughness and strategy will need to be top-notch to take on a formidable Aussie side 
. With the Ashes series on the line, the pressure is on both teams to deliver 
️. I'm curious to see how this will all play out – can they replicate cricket's 'Bazball' success in rugby?
and then they send their rugby team to steal the show 
meanwhile australia is gonna crush them with that "fearless bazball" 
and what's up with the mental approach tho? are we just gonna sit there and think about our tactics all game or get out there and smash ppl? 
But seriously, Brendon McCullum's approach has been pretty game-changing for English cricket, and it’s awesome that they're bringing some of that same energy to rugby. Australia might be a tough opponent, but if England can bring that fearless mindset to the table, I think they’ve got a good shot at winning
