Owen Farrell returns for England at fly-half and will captain side against Chile

Owen Farrell will make his first appearance at the Rugby World Cup when when he starts at fly-half against Chile in Lille on Saturday, with Marcus Smith at full-back and Henry Arundell on the wing as coach Steve Borthwick shuffles his resources.

Farrell missed the wins over Argentina and Japan as part of his four-game suspension for a dangerous tackle and comes in as captain to replace George Ford, who moves to the bench after two man of the match performances.

Smith, nominally a flyhalf, has come off the bench at full-back in recent games, bringing some much-needed vibrancy to England's attack. He has never started a game at 15 for England or his club Harlequins.

In all there are 12 changes from the team that beat Japan 34-12 for what should be the easiest of England's Pool D fixtures.

Exciting 20-year-old Arundell starts on the right wing and Max Malins on the left, with Smith completing a new back three.

Danny Care is scrumhalf, with Ollie Lawrence at inside centreand Elliot Daly moving from left wing to 13.

Loosehead prop Bevan Rodd and hooker Theo Dan both starttheir first games of the tournament, David Ribbans and George Martin form a new second row pairing, while Jack Willis at openside flanker, Lewis Ludlam on the blindside and Billy Vunipola at no 8 are the back row.

England are already virtually assured of a place in the quarter-finals after their two wins against the strongest sides in the group but victory on Saturday would confirm it.

They would then have a Marseille quarter-final against Wales, Fiji or Australia.

England: Marcus Smith; Henry Arundell, Elliot Daly, Ollie Lawrence, Max Malins; Owen Farrell (capt), Danny Care; Bevan Rodd, Theo Dan, Kyle Sinckler, David Ribbans, George Martin, Lewis Ludlam, Jack Willis,
