Wallaroos attacking coach Chris Delooze believes the squad have the unique advantage with Red Roses legend Jo Yapp at the helm, eager to draw on her experience.
Yapp returns to England for the first - and last - time as Australian coach after a decorated career in the English jersey.

The former scrum half went to three World Cups and captained England in the 2006 World Cup final in Canada.
“She's been incredible for these girls,” Delooze said to reporters.
“That experience going into a World Cup and that background [is massive] but also just in general and the culture that we've started to produce and the togetherness.
“Everything that's kind of happening at the moment has certainly been under her guidance.”
Delooze was feeling the excitement of the World Cup, with the Australians welcomed to Manchester in a highly energetic opening event on Sunday.
“As a coach, it's probably just as exciting for us as it is for the players. It has been an incredible build-up,” he notes.
“I spoke to a lot of people from a personal perspective and what greater honour than to represent your country whether you're a coach or whether you're a player. So this is the pinnacle of rugby.”
But the focus turned quickly towards their opening match against Samoa and finding the consistency necessary to advance into the knockout stages.
“We've tried to keep building and obviously what we're really trying to chase is probably consistency through performances.
“We're very, very happy with the turnaround from one week to the next in Wales, but that was really just coming back to the process and concentrating on all the controllables and just getting after a game plan that we're trying to chase in this World Cup.
“…When we're talking about consistency, it could come down to a little bit of our mindset and making sure that we turn up on the day.”
The former Manly coach has already put the loss of Charlotte Caslick to the side as they build their attack to face Samoa.
“Rugby's a funny game, right? She was in the squad, but what ‘Nua [Moleka] brings is an exciting edge as well when we're looking at someone who's up and coming and while she's in here and she's training the house down at the moment,” he added.
“We're always looking at different game plans and what we could essentially do in and around our attack but these girls are ready to go.
“We understand where their threats are going to come from and what opportunities may even present themselves but the main focus is what we want to get right going into this game and we do believe if we stick to our processes that we should come up with the results.”
