The England captain has spoken in his latest BBC column, as we eagerly count down the days to the First Ashes Test!
In his BBC Sport column, England captain George Williams looks forward to Saturday's first Ashes Test against Australia, which kicks off the first touring Kangaroos series since 2003.
We're almost there. England versus Australia at Wembley, and I mean it when I say, as a group, I don't think we've ever been more ready than this.
It's the best England set-up I've been a part of, and I've been a part of it for 10 years now so I'm getting old.
I don't say that lightly. It's our best chance.
There's been a lot of talk over the past six months, and a lot of meetings with head coach Shaun Wane, and you walk out of those meetings wanting to play the game right there.
Now the game is upon us. I'm looking forward to his talk on Saturday because we'll be firing and ready to go.
This is what I did it for at Wigan St Pats at seven years old. You never think you'll reach these heights, as a kid with a dream. At 30, I'm still pinching myself that this is what I do. I love what I do. You can never get bored with this.
