England fans have been voting on who could come in for England after Eddie Jones hinted there 'will be changes' following their loss to Scotland.

The visitors dominated possession and territory in the sides' tournament opener at Murrayfield and led going into the final quarter thanks to a 17-point haul by Marcus Smith.

But Scotland - who were 10-6 ahead at the break after Ben White's debut score - were awarded seven points after Luke Cowan-Dickie deliberately slapped a Finn Russell cross-kick into touch, and edged to victory with a late Russell penalty.

After the game, Jones hinted that he will be making changes for next week's clash with Italy in Rome. See the team selected by fans below.
