St. Lucia’s Marland Yarde will start for England vs the Wallabies on Saturday. The Caribbean is one of two changes made by Head Coach Eddie Jones. The second change sees Fijian Nathan Hughes starting at No 8.
Yarde comes in for the suspended Elliot Daly. The Wasps center was red carcded for tackling Leonardo Senatore in the air. Hughes replaces Billy Vunipola who suffered a knee injury against Argentina last weekend.
England are the only Tier 1 team to have won all matches in 2016. In June they defeated Australia in a three match series 3-0. In November England knocked over South Africa, Fiji and Argentina.
