Alex Goode: Great start now bring on Aussies!

Man of the match Alex Goode hopes his dazzling display in the rout of Fiji will ensure he retains the No15 jersey for Australia.
Saracens‘ ace Goode is desperate to face the Wallabies and leave Mike Brown on the replacements bench after helping set up four of England’s seven tries in their 54-12 Twickenham triumph.
Goode was inspirational as he grabbed his chance at full-back with Ben Foden injured and Quins rival Brown watching for most of the game.
Goode performed with skill, flair and assurance and came in for special praise from head coach Stuart Lancaster.
Versatile Goode, who was building on his fine Test debut against South Africa in the summer, admitted: “All I could do was go out there and give it my best shot. When the chance comes along you cannot afford to mess things up. I’m glad that wasn’t the case.
“I hope I will be starting again next weekend but you take nothing for granted. If I am not I will accept it.
“It was a great atmopshere, and the team produced some good attacking rugby. We scored seven tries and could have had more. So we have to be happy with the result.
“But we also made mistakes and chances went begging. We tried to force the issue a few times when perhaps we didn’t need to. So there are things we can improve upon in the coming week.
“It’s certain we will need to raise our performance considerably and not make as many errors.”
Lancaster said: “Alex had a fine game. He looked assured in everything he did whether it was attack or defence. He is a player who is improving all the time and learning so well.”
Another player hoping he has done enough to face Australia is Danny Care, who defended himself over the latest Twickenham yellow card which threatens his bid to make the England scrum-half shirt his own.
The tigerish Quins star  was sin-binned after just nine minutes for a tip tackle on Fijian Leone Nakarawa.
But Care, whose career has been dogged by controversy on and off the field, claimed: “I felt it was a bit harsh.  I didn’t think it was that bad.
“He was the biggest bloke in their team but the touch judge clearly saw something he didn’t like and let the referee know.
“It’s never nice when the referee calls you over. You fear the worst and it was a shame to go off so early.
“It didn’t change my thinking or my game. I don’t let things like that upset the way I play. It was important to stay positive.
“I  wanted  to  make  an impact and felt I did well. It was fantastic being back out on the field in an England jersey. The fans were superb. They gave us great support.”
Leicester‘s Ben Youngs replaced Care in the second half, but Care said: “I hope I have done enough to keep the jersey. I did what I could to impress.”
Captain Chris Robshaw admits the next three opponents, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, will offer a far tougher challenge.
He said: “We played about 80 percent today, and will need to find that extra 20 percent in the coming weeks.
“The challenges ahead are much tougher.  The hard job starts from now.”
Fijian coach Inoke Male admitted: “England were simply too strong and powerful for us up front. It’s hard to win a game without the ball, and England had it most of the time.”
