Recalled Australia centre Morgan Turinui has warned England his team-mates have spent four years plotting revenge ahead of Saturday's World Cup quarter-final in Marseille.

Turinui has been drafted into the squad after number eight David Lyons broke his leg against Canada, while also providing additional cover for injured fly-half Stephen Larkham.

Four years after Jonny Wilkinson's extra-time field goal in the 2003 final in Sydney shattered Australian hearts, the Wallabies have a chance to avenge that
bitter defeat.

Feelings between the nations are extremely tense following Australian Rugby Union (ARU) boss John O'Neill's assertion that Aussies ``hate'' the English.

``It's personal against England whatever sport it is, whatever you do,'' said Turinui, who was on the bench at the Telstra Stadium four years ago.

``If you are racing a guy to get in line at the airport and he's English you'll probably drop the shoulder on him.

``Australia versus England - that's the way it is. When Australia's in a scrap, especially the Wallabies, I think that's when they play their best footy.''

Asked if he agreed with O'Neill's opinion, Turinui smiled: ``John's the boss so I'll just follow what he says.''

Turinui, who is unlikely to receive any game time in France, revealed the depth of despair inside the Wallabies camp the moment Wilkinson landed his
celebrated three-pointer will be enough inspiration this weekend.

``For every guy who was in that squad, the motivation for this World Cup started that night,'' he added.

The 25-year-old played the last of his 20 Tests for Australia in 2005 and thought his international career may have come to a premature end.

``You always wonder in the back of your mind whether your days as a Wallaby might be over,'' he said. ``It just shows that if you continue to work hard at
your game and stay in the back of the selectors' minds through decent performances, there is always the chance of a recall.

``The reason we're all playing rugby is to represent our country. The World Cup comes around every four years and you want to be part of it.

``I re-signed with the ARU for next year with the sole goal of having a new opportunity with the (Queensland) Reds and making the Wallabies again.

``That's why I stayed in Australia. This is a great surprise and a great opportunity.''

Turinui has kept match fit playing for Sydney Fleet in the inaugural Mazda Australian Rugby Championship.

``It's a great opportunity for me to do anything I can to help the cause, whether it's on the training field, off the field or sitting on the bench,'' he said.

``The best thing I can do is put some pressure on the guys in front of me and make them play better.

``Anything you can do to help Australia continue on in this tournament is what you're there for.''
