Daly gets the nod

England vs Fiji: Elliot Daly to start on the wing after impressing on his debut against South Africa

Red Rose manager forced to reshuffle his injury-hit pack with Jonny May, Mike Brown and Billy Vunipola amongst absentees

ELLIOT DALY will start on the wing against Fiji after Eddie Jones had a last-minute shuffle of his pack.

Jonny May, Mike Brown and no.8 Billy Vunipola all missed this morning's crucial final Red Rose training session before Jones names his team.

Wasps back Daly made his full debut for England in the historic win over South Africa and although his main position is as a genre - can also play anywhere across the back field.

Semesa Rokoduguni, the Fiji-born flier, will start on the other wing with Alex Goode as full-back. Ben Te'o and Henry Slade are on the bench.

Jones was due to name his side at 10am - but moved that to 2.30pm to have one last look at his injury-hit side.

SunSport also understands that Tom Wood has been drafted in to cover for Vunipola junior and has come back to England's Pennyhill Park training base after being sent back to his club on Tuesday.

Wood's Northampton Saints teammate Teimana Harrison was training at no.7 pointing towards a start for him in the back-row alongside Chris Robshaw and Nathan Hughes - shifted to no.8 to cover for Saracens star Vunipola.
