Freddie Steward and Tom Roebuck return from injury for England’s showdown with New Zealand, though Tommy Freeman and Ollie Chessum are both sidelined as George Ford makes his return at fly-half.
Full-back Steward and wing Roebuck started the opening fixture of the Autumn Nations Series, a routine 25-7 victory over Australia, though neither was available for last weekend’s 38-18 win against Fiji due to hand and ankle issues respectively.
