Australia have proven to be too strong for the English national team, but Greg Alexander believes the rival nation would not be able to defeat some of the NRL's leading teams.

The Kangaroos won the Ashes series for the 14th consecutive time on Sunday after they withstood a physical attacking display from England in Liverpool in the second Test.

England made five changes to their starting line-up between the first and second Test, with rugby league stars AJ Brimson and Morgan Smithies earning call ups.

But even those changes were not enough to halt the power of the Australian team.

The opening 20 minutes of the match looked promising for England as the visitors were put to the test, with only four points put on the board due to penalties for both teams.
