- Exeter lock in starting XV, Lawrence and Thorley on bench
- Ben Youngs will win his 100th cap at scrum-half
Eddie Jones has handed an England debut to the Exeter lock Jonny Hill for Saturday’s Six Nations finale against Italy while Ollie Lawrence and Ollie Thorley are also in line for a first cap from the bench.
Hill is rewarded for his fine form in helping the Chiefs achieve the domestic and European double and gets the nod ahead of Charlie Ewels, who is among the replacements, and Joe Launchbury. Hill was selected for the 2018 summer tour of South Africa but the closest he came to making his debut was as an unused replacement in the third Test.
