- Co-captain Hartley named among replacements
- Manu Tuilagi on bench after more than two years
Dylan Hartley has been left out of Eddie Jones’s starting XV to face Australia while Manu Tuilagi is in line a first England appearance for more than two and a half years after also being named on the bench.
Hartley was also among the replacements against Japan last Saturday but, with Jones selecting his first-choice side to face the Wallabies, his omission from the starting lineup is significant. He is listed as co-captain, along with Owen Farrell, but Jamie George has been named to make his seventh England start.
