England head coach Steve Borthwick has named his side to face New Zealand in the Autumn Nations Series at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday, with Ben Spencer starting at scrum-half. Spencer has never started a game for England in his international career, but gets the opportunity with Alex Mitchell ruled out for November with a neck injury.
In the back three, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso starts on the right wing, with Tommy Freeman on the left and George Furbank selected at full-back to complete the starting line-up. Theo Dan, Fin Baxter, Dan Cole, Nick Isiekwe, Ben Curry, Alex Dombrandt, Harry Randall and George Ford take their places on a bench made up of six forwards and two backs. 'We're excited for the challenge of playing against one of the best teams in world rugby,' said Borthwick.
