The dynamic 21-year-old Northampton forward has seven caps from the bench and will start at No 8, with Tom Curry coming in at blindside flanker. Captain Maro Itoje will win his 100th cap, becoming the ninth England player to reach that milestone. Ben Earl had more than 20 carries last weekend, and I want Henry to have as many carries as possible as well.
