Owen Farrell has been named at fly-half for England’s autumn series opener against South Africa at Twickenham on Saturday.
The Saracens playmaker starts in the position for only the third time in the Eddie Jones era, forcing George Ford to settle for a place among the replacements.
Ben Te’o has been picked at inside centre despite being limited to only 28 minutes of rugby since May due to thigh and calf injuries.
Here, Press Association Sport answers some of the questions arising from England’s latest squad announcement.
