England have confirmed a first start for Fin Smith at fly-half against France in this weekend’s Six Nations at Twickenham.

The highly rated Northampton youngster has made all 7 appearances from off the bench so far.

Marcus Smith will be shifted to full-back, Ollie Sleightholme comes in on the wing.

Tom Willis at number 8 is the only other change to the 15 that started in the opening weekend defeat to Ireland.
