There’s just one change to the side that brushed aside Los Pumas 35–12 last weekend — and it’s a big one. Luke Northmore is set to make his first start in an England shirt, lining up at outside centre.
The bench is unchanged, keeping its familiar 6-2 split as England go hunting for a series clean sweep. George Ford and Jamie George co-captain again as they look to wrap up the tour on a high.
“The players have trained with real focus and intensity this week,” said Borthwick.
“We’re expecting a tactical battle as well as a tough, physical contest. Everyone’s excited for what should be a fantastic Test.”
The tour wraps up next Saturday in Washington D.C. when England face the USA.
