Chessum to make first England start in decider

Leicester’s Ollie Chessum will make his first start for England in the series decider against Australia on Saturday.

Chessum will take his place in the second row after an injury to Maro Itoje.

With flanker Sam Underhill also ruled out with concussion, Lewis Ludlam will wear number seven in Sydney.

In the one change to the backline, Danny Care starts at scrum-half while Jack van Poortvliet, who started the last game, is on the bench.

Jack Willis has recovered from a rib injury and is named among the replacements.
