England fly-half Fin Smith has won his fitness battle and will start against Australia in Saturday's Test match at Twickenham. The 22-year-old Northampton Saints playmaker was a doubt after picking up a knock but has been passed fit to wear the number 10 jersey.
Head coach Steve Borthwick has also handed a debut to an uncapped player in the matchday squad for the Autumn Nations Series clash. Smith's inclusion provides continuity at fly-half after his impressive performances in the Six Nations earlier this year.
The match marks England's first meeting with Australia since the Wallabies' 2022 tour. Both sides will be looking to build momentum ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup cycle.
