What time is England v Australia kick-off and what TV channel is it on?

Australia and England lock horns again in the second Test between the two sides on Saturday.

The Wallabies edged the first encounter in Perth last weekend, despite the home team playing a lot of the game with 14 men following Darcy Swain's red card.

The 30-28 resulted finally ended their eight-match losing streak against England teams coached by native Australian Eddie Jones.

The tourists will be out of revenge this weekend. Here is everything you need to know about the encounter.

What time is Australia v England kick-off?

Australia v England kicks off at 10.55am UK time in Brisbane at the Suncorp Stadium on Saturday, July 9.

What TV channel is Australia v England on? What about live streaming?

What's the Australia v England team news?

Australia have made a host of enforced changes for the second Test. Matt Philip replaces the suspended Swain and Hunter Paisami comes into midfield.

The injured Tom Banks is replaced by Jordan Petaia at full-back and Taniela Tupou replaces Allan Alaalatoa at tighthead prop.

England suffered a setback shortly before kick-off when flanker Jack Willis was withdrawn from the bench because of a rib injury. Willis' place is taken by Will Joseph, the London Irish centre whose promotion from outside the 23 changes the split between forwards and back among the replacements from six-two to five-three.

England have awarded debuts to centre Guy Porter, who steps in for Joe Marchant, and wing Tommy Freeman, who replaces Joe Cokanasiga, for their attempt to level the series.

Sam Underhill comes in at openside with Tom Curry missing the match due to concussion.

Scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet will make his first start for England, coming in for Danny Care who drops to the bench.
