FIN BAXTER has urged England to keep it simple as he bids to break his dismal international duck against Japan on Sunday.
The Harlequins prop, 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 his one start and three appearances off the bench since have finished in similar narrow reverses, with South Africa beating England 29-20 in the latest setback last week.
That adds up to five losses in five Tests for the youngster, who is desperate to get an England win under his belt.
