England's Maro Itoje has claimed that he is not "overawed" by matches against high-profile opponents because of the confidence he has in his teammates.
The 21-year-old, winning only his fifth cap, helped Eddie Jones's side to a historic 39-28 win over Australia on Saturday.
By beating the Wallabies, England secured their first ever win in Brisbane and just their fourth ever against the Southern Hemisphere nation on Australian soil.
Itoje told BBC Sport: "When I look around the dressing room at the quality of individuals and the quality of the preparation we've done, it gives me confidence.
"When we have that preparation, I don't think there is any need to be nervous or overwhelmed by the occasion."
The young lock has not lost a match he has started for club or country in over a year, which includes a Grand Slam with England and both the Premiership and European Champions Cup with club side Saracens this season.
