Ellis Genge dropped to the England bench after being named in World Rugby Team of the Year

Bristol Bears star Ellis Genge may have been recognised as the best loose head prop on the planet at World Rugby's annual awards on Monday, but England head coach Eddie Jones has named him as a replacement on South Africa this weekend.

England will host the Springboks at Twickenham Stadium in their final Autumn Nations Series game on Saturday 26 November (5.30pm KO), having won one, draw one and lost one so far.

Genge, who was named in the World Rugby Dream Team of 2022, is amongst the finishers as Jones rings the changes with Exeter Chiefs trio Luke Cowan-Dickie, Sam Simmonds and Jack Nowell also dropping out of the starting side to take a place on the bench.
