Daly and Slade back for England against Argentina

LONDON :Wing Elliot Daly, centre Henry Slade and prop Asher Opoku-Fordjour have been included in the England starting team to face Argentina on Sunday as coach Steve Borthwick made six changes from the side that beat New Zealand last week.

Daly, who has not played any rugby since breaking his arm playing for the British & Irish Lions in July, is on the left wing in place of injured Tom Roebuck.

With Ollie Lawrence and Tommy Freeman also injured, Slade comes in at outside centre alongside Fraser Dingwall.

In the front row Opoku-Fordjour will make his second start alongside recalled Ellis Genge and Luke Cowan-Dickie, who were on the bench last week.

Ben Spencer will also start at scrumhalf with Alex Mitchell moving to the bench as England seek a fourth win in the Autumn Series and an 11th in a row.
