Chris Ashton will make his first England start in four years but there is no place for blockbusting Manu Tuilagi for the test against New Zealand in London this weekend. Ashton comes in for Jack Nowell who drops to the bench as coach Eddie Jones made three changes to the team that beat the Springboks last weekend. Ben Moon will make his first test start at loosehead prop and Sam Underhill replaces injured openside flanker Tom Curry. In naming his team for this highly anticipated test Jones said: "The expectation for Saturday is no different to any other test match. We want to be at our best, better than we were in the previous test match and we want to play with pride and passion which ignites the fan.
