12 uncapped players feature in Eddie Jones’ England team to play The USA on Sunday at Twickenham
Marcus Smith and Lewis Ludlow are among eight uncapped players in the starting XV, with 11 England internationals in South Africa with the British and Irish Lions.
Prop Ellis Genge will be vice-captain and Sam Underhill starts at flanker.
Underhill missed the 2021 Six Nations because of a hip injury but returns alongside Ludlow and uncapped Newcastle number eight Callum Chick in the back row.
Head coach Eddie Jones says the game at Twickenham is a chance for players to “make their mark with England”.
He said: “Over the past three weeks our biggest message to the players is what an opportunity this is to show what they can do and make their mark with England.
“They’ve applied themselves as a group and worked very hard individually during this camp to reach their personal bests. Now it’s all about coming together as a team, gelling and putting in a good performance at the weekend.”
England v USA is live on Channel 4, with coverage starting from 1.30pm.
