England trio declared fit for Fiji clash

England coach Eddie Jones has made four changes to his starting line-up for the clash against Fiji at Twickenham on Saturday after the trio of Billy Vunipola, Nathan Hughes and Elliott Daly have cleared the fitness test.

Vunipola suffered from an 'upper body soreness' and was unable to train on the final session on Thursday while Hughes and Daly sustained 'lower leg injury' and 'upper body injury' increasing doubts on their participation on Saturday's clash.

However, Jones has confirmed that all three of them are fit and raring to take on Fiji at Twickenham.

Teimana Harrison will replace Tom Wood at openside while Daly will move to left wing at the expense of Jonny May, who is out of matchday 23 allowing Jonathan Joseph a return at outside centre.

Semesa Rokoduguni also makes the much anticipated return to the England line-up replacing Marland Yarde while Alex Goode has been preferred at full-back over Mike Brown.

"We've picked a side to beat Fiji. Every Test match is an opportunity for us to keep improving and to increase the depth of the squad," Jones said.

"We've made a few changes from last week and those players have a great chance to put their best foot forward and make the team better.

"England at Twickenham is the game Fiji will have targeted on their tour. They are one of the iconic rugby nations of the world and we respect them enormously.

"They bring flair and an unbridled enthusiasm to move the ball at pace, with running skills - if the game becomes unstructured they can be a very dangerous team. They'll come to Twickenham with no fear and hungry to cause an upset.

"While we were satisfied with last week's result against South Africa, there was plenty to improve on.

"We want a much more complete performance on Saturday - we want to be in total control of the game and tidy-up the things we didn't do well enough last weekend."

England: Goode, Rokoduguni, Joseph, Farrell, Daly, G Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, Hartley, Cole, Launchbury, Lawes, Robshaw, Harrison, B Vunipola.

Replacements: George, Marler, Sinckler, Ewels, Hughes, Care, Te'o, Slade.
