“Three changed” – Ollie Chessum handed first start in expected England XV

Leicester Tigers forward Ollie Chessum will be handed his first start for England by Eddie Jones against the Wallabies, suggest RUCK sources.

With second-row Maro Itoje and flanker Sam Underhill ruled out following concussions last time out, Chessum is fully expected to come in for his third cap.
