England Team to Play Australia

Eddie Jones has named his side to face Australia in England’s second game of the Old Mutual Wealth Series (KO 3pm, Sky Sports).

Jones has made four changes to the side that defeated Argentina 21-8 on Saturday.


Eddie Jones said: “I have selected the strongest 23 to play Australia and we will have to be effective in everything we do this weekend to win. This is going to be a great challenge, as we know Australia have been in great form towards the end of their season.
 
“The players have had an extremely positive week. They have trained well and worked hard and we are all excited about going out on Saturday and playing well against a very good Australian side.”
