NORTHAMPTON’S NEW ZEALAND-born back row Teimana Harrison will make an international debut for England against Wales on Sunday (kick-off 3pm).
The 23-year-old qualifies for England through his father, and starts on the blindside of a back row completed by James Haskell and Brisbane-born Jack Clifford at number eight.
Front rows Ellis Genge, Tommy Taylor and centre Ollie Devoto will also hope to make their debuts in the Twickenham Test as they are named among the replacements.
Wales have named Scott Williams along side Jamie Roberts in midfield, the outside centre has played just 80 minutes since suffering a horrible knee injury during the Rugby World Cup. Despite the presence of Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate captains the team after being moved into the openside jersey to accommodate Ross Moriarty.
