Eddie Jones has turned to old timers Billy Vunipola and Danny Care to help deal with the “really aggressive environment" awaiting England in Australia.
The pair are long-term strangers to the Test arena with scrum-half Care last capped in 2018 and No.8 Vunipola dropped 15 months ago.
But both are in top form and with England in a hole after another dismal Six Nations and Sunday’s stuffing by the Barbarians, Jones feels the time is right to tap back into their 145 caps worth of experience.
