Owen Farrell is poised to start at five-eighth for England for the first time since Eddie Jones took over as head coach in the first Test against Australia on Saturday.

Farrell, who last started in his club position for England in the defeat by Australia that knocked Stuart Lancaster's side out of the World Cup at Twickenham last October, will replace George Ford at No.10 when Jones names his starting XV.

Ford, who was booed by sections of the Twickenham crowd after missing six kicks out of seven at goal during the victory over Wales last month, was an ever-present in England's Grand Slam campaign. However, Farrell's outstanding form for Saracens at the business end of their Premiership and Champions Cup double appears to have swayed Jones.

Northampton's Luther Burrell, who controversially lost out to Sam Burgess for a place in the World Cup squad, is set to start at inside centre, where Farrell played throughout the Six Nations.
