Danny Cipriani Starts Third Test

England head coach Eddie Jones has named his side to face South Africa in the final of three Tests at Newlands, Cape Town on Saturday 23rd June (KO 1605 BST live on Sky Sports Action & Main Event).
 
There are three changes to the starting XV with Joe Marler (Harlequins) named in the front row replacing Mako Vunipola (Saracens), who returned home for family reasons earlier this week.
 
Danny Cipriani (Wasps) will make his first start for England since 2008, replacing George Ford (Leicester Tigers) at fly half.

Chris Robshaw (Harlequins) replaces Brad Shields (Hurricanes/ Wasps) at blindside flanker due to illness.
 
Eddie Jones said: “We’ve had a really upbeat training week. We are up for the battle and are going to rip in on Saturday. We want another committed performance where it will be crucial to maintain our composure when the heat is on.
 
“We are expecting a wet and windy old day at Newlands and have elected to play Danny Cipriani ahead of George Ford to give us a left-foot kicking option. We will need to jump out of the blocks quickly again and make sure we maintain that pressure and make good decisions.
 
“I’ve been really impressed with the fortitude of the squad under Owen Farrell, who is a young captain, and with a number of young players who have really stuck to the task."
