    These autumn internationals aren't easy. Just ask Australia - who are losing in Italy as it stands...

    Number eight Sam Simmonds and scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet will start for a much-changed England.

    South Africa-born David Ribbans makes his debut at lock, replacing Northampton team-mate Alex Coles.

    Manu Tuilagi drops to the bench, with Leicester's Guy Porter coming in at outside centre.

    Wing Jonny May will start only 22 days after dislocating an elbow on club duty while Joe Cokanasiga is that late call-up after Jack Nowell picked up an injury.

    England have more than 400 caps on the bench today. Quite the experience to call on.

    England were sloppy, stodgy and scrappy last weekend as Argentina left Twickenham with the narrowest of famous wins.

    Japan - who will face both England and Argentina in Pool D of the World Cup next autumn - are another tricky test that could leave Eddie Jones in (more) bother by the end of play tonight.

    England's women were heroic in narrow defeat first thing this morning, agonisingly missing out on a World Cup trophy in stunning fashion.

    This afternoon their male counterparts must show they can step up several gears and put on a show a year out from their own brush with World Cup greatness.

    Can Eddie Jones' side make the grade?
