FIN IT TO WIN IT

FIN BAXTER has urged England to keep it simple as he bids to break his international duck against Japan on Sunday.

The Harlequins prop, still just 22, was thrown in at the deep end for his Test debut when Joe Marler went off after 19 minutes against the All Blacks in Dunedin.

That game in July ended in a heartbreaking 16-15 defeat, and one start and three more appearances off the bench later have finished in similarly narrow reverses.

That all adds up to five Tests, five losses for Baxter, who is desperate to get a win under his belt.
