Anthony Watson runs with the ball against Wales
Watson started on the bench in England’s victory againt Wales
Date: Sunday, 6 December Kick-off: 14:00 GMT Venue: Twickenham
Coverage: Live on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC Sounds, the BBC Sport app and website with live text commentary

Wing Anthony Watson replaces the injured Jonathan Joseph in the one change to the England side for Sunday’s Autumn Nations Cup final against France at Twickenham.

Backs Max Malins and Joe Marchant return to the bench.

“We’re looking forward to this final, playing France and having another chance to win a trophy,” said Jones.

England’s starting XV boasts more than 800 caps, and will dwarf a rookie French outfit in terms of experience.

Around 25 key players are unavailable to Les Bleus because of an agreement between the French union and clubs over playing limits this autumn.

Watson made his comeback from an ankle injury against the Welsh, and will win his 45th England cap this weekend.

“I unfortunately have got used to coming back from injury in games,” Watson told BBC Sport.

“It’s always nice to represent England and I was fortunate to play a good 30 minutes [against Wales].

“I am buzzing to be back training with the lads ahead of a big game this week.”

England’s last defeat was against a full-strength France side at the beginning of the 2020 Six Nations, a competition Jones’ side went on to win.

Sunday’s match will take place in front of 2,000 fans at Twickenham, England having played their first three Autumn Nations Cup games in empty stadiums.

“We’d like to congratulate the tournament organisers on putting this on in difficult circumstances,” Jones added.

“Over the past two months the players have put in real effort, worked very hard on and off the pitch and have met the protocols and new ways of working.

“This has been another positive learning week with tough, hard training and we’re looking forward to getting on the pitch in front of our fans and playing a good game of rugby.”

England: Daly; Watson, Slade, Farrell (capt), May; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Launchbury, Curry, Underhill, B Vunipola.


Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Genge, Stuart, Hill, Earl, Robson, Malins, Marchant.
