Eddie Jones has recalled Danny Care for England’s series decider against Australia in Sydney on Saturday. Care’s return is one of three changes made by Jones with Lewis Ludlam and Ollie Chessum replacing the injured Sam Underhill and Maro Itoje, respectively.

Care’s return is the only unenforced change, with Jones turning to the 35-year-old veteran despite Jack van Poortvliet’s impressive performance on his first England start in Brisbane last weekend. The 21-year-old Van Poortvliet is on the bench, along with the apprentice players Will Joseph and Henry Arundell.
