Te'o handed England start as Jones makes four changes - Rugby


LONDON (Reuters) - Ben Te'o will make his first international start after being named at outside centre for England in Sunday's Six Nations clash against Italy at Twickenham, one of four changes to the team who beat Wales two weeks ago. Te'o looked impressive off the bench in England's tournament opening victories over France, where he scored the match-winning try, and Wales, and was handed a debut start by coach Eddie Jones on Friday after earning five caps as a replacement. He moved to Australia as a teenager and forged an impressive career in rugby league in the NRL, also playing internationally for Samoa. In 2013 he switched codes, joining Irish province Leinster, before moving again to English Premiership club Worcester at the start of this season. "Ben Youngs has been outstanding for us at number nine, but Danny Care gets the starting jersey this week.
