Alex Goode will be handed the opportunity to rekindle his international career, with the Saracens full-back in line to make his first start for England in over a year against Fiji at Twickenham on Saturday.

Goode, who was named Premiership Player of the Year last season on the back of a number of outstanding performances during Saracens’ Premiership and Champions Cup double-winning campaign, has been restricted to a handful of appearances since losing his place to Harlequins full-back Mike Brown in 2013.

It is expected, however, that the 28-year-old will make his first start since England’s final World Cup pool match against Uruguay in Manchester last October, in one of four changes to the side that defeated South Africa last weekend.
