Ashton to make rare start for England

Chris Ashton against the Boks Chris Ashton
Standard published on November 8, 2018

Chris Ashton will start on the right wing when England host the All Blacks at Twickenham this Saturday.

Ashton earned a late call-up to the England bench in last Saturday’s Test against the Boks, and will now make his first start after four years.

There are three changes in all, with Ben Moon named at loosehead prop, while Sam Underhill comes in at openside flank following an ankle injury to Tom Curry.

England – 15 Elliot Daly, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Henry Slade, 12 Ben Te’o, 11 Jonny May, 10 Owen Farrell (co-c), 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Mark Wilson, 7 Sam Underhill, 6 Brad Shields, 5 George Kruis, 4 Maro Itoje, 3 Kyle Sinckler, 2 Dylan Hartley (co-c), 1 Ben Moon.
Subs: 16 Jamie George, 17 Alec Hepburn, 18 Harry Williams, 19 Charlie Ewels, 20 Courtney Lawes, 21 Danny Care, 22 George Ford, 23 Jack Nowell.
