England's Australian head coach Eddie Jones expects life to be made as difficult as possible during their three-Test tour of Australia.

England head coach Eddie Jones has warned his players to expect a tough time in Australia as their three-Test tour of the Southern Hemisphere nation gets underway.

The 56-year-old, an Australian national and well known in his native country, said that he was "shunted" into the baggage check area by customs officials on arrival in Brisbane on Thursday.

"Everything that's done around the game is going to be coordinated, all coordinated to help Australia win," Jones told reporters.

"I just went through immigration and I got shunted through the area where everything got checked. That's what I'm expecting. We've got to be good enough to control what we can control.

"Australia are ranked second in the world, they've got the best coach in the world and they're playing in their own backyard so they are going to be strong."

England won one Test in Sydney during the last tour in 2010, one of only three wins they have ever managed against the hosts in Australia.
