Slade and Lawrence swap places in midfield jerseys, with Sleightholme and Cowan-Dickie added to bench
team to face Australia on Saturday but freshened up his bench in an effort to avoid another late collapse following last weekend’s agonising defeat by New Zealand.
On the bench, Luke Cowan-Dickie has been named as the replacement hooker, getting the nod in place of Theo Dan, and is set for his first England appearance since Eddie Jones’s last game in charge in November 2022. Ollie Sleightholme is also handed a place on the bench as Borthwick reverts to a 5-3 split with Ben Curry dropping out of the squad.
On the bench, Fin Baxter and Dan Cole join Cowan-Dickie as front-row cover while Nick Isiekwe, Alex Dombrandt and Harry Randall keep their spots in the 23, as does George Ford who missed two late kicks against the All Blacks last Saturday.
