Manx rugby star to start against Australia
Manx rugby star, Bevan Rodd, will make his England debut against Australia tonight after Ellis Genge was ruled out following a positive coronavirus test.
Scotland-born Rodd plays at Sale Sharks and is currently uncapped on the international stage, will make his debut just three days after being called into the camp as a replacement for Joe Marler, with Trevor Davison providing cover on the bench.
The test match tie between the two nations will take place at Twickenham, kicking off at 5.30pm.
Squad update | Bevan Rodd will start on his debut for England at prop tomorrow with Ellis Genge out following a positive COVID test.
