Australia back-rower Boyd Cordner is excited about the prospect of taking on Englands giant forwards in Sundays crucial Four Nations encounter at Londons Olympic Stadium (0100 Monday AEDT).England must win the game to have any chance of securing a spot in the final at Anfield on November 20 with the Kangaroos also needing a victory to rubber stamp their place in the decider.Aside from outstanding Warrington front-rower Chris Hill, all of the English forwards have NRL experience, headlined by the three Burgess brothers and Canterbury skipper James Graham.Canberra duo Josh Hodgson and Elliott Whitehead and recently-departed St George Illawarra forward Mike Cooper will also play and back-rower Cordner said he has huge admiration and respect for the English big men.Any side coached by Wayne Bennett is a tough team and were going to have to prepare our best and play our best footy as well, Cordner said.Theyre captained by Sam Burgess who I think is one of the best players in the game and with him in their forward pack leading the way its going to be a tough challenge.When the three of the Burgesses are on at the same time its hard because they are big guys and they are hard to bring down.But its something we are just going to have to deal with.England lost their first match to New Zealand by a point and were less than convincing in a scratchy win against Scotland.However, Cordner is expecting the hosts to be much-improved in front of whats expected to be a crowd of around 40,000.They have to win and we dont want to lose one, he said.They have some big boys and we have to slow down their middle and then hopefully shut down their strike out wide.Most of the squad flew out to Barcelona on Sunday after the win against New Zealand for a short break and Cordner said it had been a welcome distraction on a long tour.It was good, we had a few days off and went sightseeing, he said.We saw the city a bit. Its good to do that kind of stuff and have a few days off to freshen up and get ready for this weeks game.Zylan Cheatham Pelicans Jersey .

Brandon Ingram Jersey . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan.FRISCO, Texas -- Tony Romo stretched alongside Jason Witten early in practice for the Dallas Cowboys, just as theyve done for most of the past 10 years.Then the 36-year-old quarterback went off to run the scout team, and his trusty tight end joined the first-teamers along with rookie Dak Prescott, who has a seven-game winning streak filling in for Romo.The Dallas starter for a decade, Romo was a full practice participant Wednesday for the first time since breaking a bone in his back in a preseason game in August, his fourth back injury in less than four years.That didnt change his spot in the pecking order, which includes veteran Mark Sanchez, the backup to Prescott the first eight games. Theres no reason to change with Dallas (7-1) surging to the best record in the NFC.Hes champing at the bit, coach Jason Garrett said . But you know well watch him today at practice and see how he does.Garrett said the starter usually gets almost all the reps with the first team in practice, and noted an exception the Cowboys made last week when Sanchez ran some situational stuff with the starters Friday.The next step is determining when Romo will be active on game day, with the first opportunity Sunday at Pittsburgh (4-4).Even Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who went 13-0 in the regular season as a rookie starter in 2004, doesnt see that the Cowboys have much choice.Taking nothing away from Tony, said Roethlisberger, who has won two Super Bowls and been named to four Pro Bowls. Hes been doing it, Pro Bowl, like you said, at a high level. But when youre winning football games, its really hard to replace that one spot.Romo hasnt spoken to reporters since he was injured Aug. 25 at Seattle. Prescott, who has 12 touchdowns and two interceptions and the fourth-best passer rating behind Tom Brady, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees, made his usual Wednesday appearance and said all the same things on the Romo front.I dont really think about if Ive done enough or what Ive done, Prescott said.Garrett said Romo rejoined the quarterback meetings last week, and Prescott said Romo is nothing but help when hes around, which is more often now that hes mostly moved beyond rehab from the injury.ddddddddddddind of the same stuff he was doing on the field. Its just Im getting it earlier in the week, Prescott said. Im getting it Monday, Tuesday instead of coming Sunday.Garrett dodged questions whether there was still a medical component in the decision and what the coaches would need to see to determine whether to activate him on Sunday. Romo was inactive for the first eight games.Romo was on the practice field the past two weeks, but either listed as limited or not participating. At times, he was absent from the early part of practice but appeared later. He was out there from the start Wednesday.The franchise leader in passing yards and touchdowns has missed 20 of the past 22 games, and is closing in on the anniversary of his last start. He threw three interceptions in the first half of a Thanksgiving loss to Carolina before breaking his left collarbone for the second time last season.I think its all just stages, getting the guys closer and ready to play in a game, Garrett said. Tony hasnt played in a game in nearly a year. So you want to get a guy out there again and again and again, moving around with people around him.As each week passes, owner and general manager Jerry Jones shows less urgency about settling the Romo matter.Anybody with any sense knows that Tony would like to be playing, Jones said on his radio show Tuesday. The key thing that I want to emphasize that we probably are never going to have this totally sorted out. Hes really got to be ready to go at the top of his game. We have the luxury of getting him that ready.And Romo has the scout team reps to show it.Game notesT Tyron Smith (back) and G Ron Leary (concussion) missed practice. Smith has been held out consistently to manage his back pain, but has been active on game days.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
