The rookie prop Asher Opoku-Fordjour will make his England debut against Japan on Saturday after being named on the bench with Steve Borthwick making two changes to his starting XV, recalling Tom Curry and George Furbank.

As revealed by the Guardian, the 20-year-old Sale prop has been named in a matchday squad for the first time after impressing during England A's victory over Australia A last week. Fin Smith is also among the replacements and set for a first outing of the autumn.
