Australian administrators are prepared to cancel the planned centenary Test against England next year after the debacle in Brisbane on Saturday, when the Wallabies won 76-0.

There was more bad news for the tourists yesterday too, with New Zealand coach John Hart preparing to unleash Jonah Lomu on them on Saturday.

Lomu, who missed yesterday's All Blacks trial because of a foot injury, is being lined up to play with New Zealand A against England at Rugby Park, Hamilton.

"We expect him to play on Saturday," said Hart, who saw his Test team - disguised as the New Zealand Barbarians - overwhelm the A side 55-14.

Back in Australia, officials insisted they would not tolerate an under strength England team in the Centenary Test at the Sydney Football Stadium next summer.

Australian Rugby Union chief executive John O'Neill said: "We cannot allow any repeats of what happened on Saturday - it would be a waste of time for England and for us.

"That is where our contingency plan comes into play. There are other options, such as France, Italy, or the Pacific Islands.

"Some England players were legitimately unavailable for the Test, but the root cause of all this is a structure which is unmanageable and unrealistic.

"The owners of rugby in England must now take a serious look at themselves and consider whether they are responsible. There was a big, big message to English rugby on Saturday, and they must re-examine their whole way of thinking.

"We have been painted as some sort of mad men from the southern hemisphere butting into England's business, but now they may take us seriously."
