Former NRL premiership winner Ben Te'o is set for his international rugby debut after being named on England's bench for the autumn opener against South Africa at Twickenham. Photo: ReutersThe New Zealand-born Worcester player has been called up as a replacement back after a spate of injuries to Eddie Jones' team. Te'o, who also played for the Wests Tigers and Brisbane in the NRL, is one of three potential debutants on the England bench for the Springboks clash. Elliot Daly will make his run-on debut at outside centre ahead of the New Zealand-born 29-year-old, who played seven Origin matches for Queensland, and incumbent Jonathan Joseph. "South African rugby has traditionally been about momentum - big ball carriers getting over the gain line, and nothing's changed."
