England side to play Wallabies

Head coach Steve Borthwick has named his team to face Australia at Allianz Stadium on Saturday 9 November.

Jamie George will captain England, supported by vice-captains Maro Itoje, Ben Earl, Ellis Genge, and George Ford.

There is one slight change to the starting side that narrowly lost to New Zealand last weekend, with the midfield partnership switched for this Test - Henry Slade starts at inside centre and Ollie Lawrence at 13. 

There are two changes to the bench, as Luke Cowan-Dickie and Ollie Sleightholme come in for Theo Dan and Ben Curry.

“Facing Australia is always a massive challenge, and we’ll work diligently this week to ensure we’re physically and tactically prepared to take on the Wallabies,” said Borthwick. “The passion and energy from the crowd at Allianz Stadium last weekend was absolutely brilliant, from the opening whistle to the final moments, and we can't wait to be back at home this Saturday."
