CORNISHMAN Luke Cowan-Dickie is set to win his 63rd Test cap after he was named in England starting line-up to face Japan in Round 5 of the Nations Championship on Saturday 14 November at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham (4.40pm).

The 33-year-old came off the bench in last weekend’s victory over Australia, but he is one of ten changes that head coach Steve Borthwick has made to his starting line-up.

That means Cowan-Dickie’s former Exeter Chiefs team-mate, Henry Slade, continues in the No.13 shirt for his 79th cap.

Fellow Chief, Greg Fisilau, who made his Test debut against the Wallabies has again been named on the bench.

As well as Cowan-Dickie, Ellis Genge, Asher Opoku-Fordjour, George Martin, Henry Pollock, George Ford, Will Joseph, Max Ojomoh, Cadan Murley and Freddie Steward all come into the starting line-up.

Elsewhere, scrum-half Archie McParland is set to make his England debut off the bench.

“Japan are a very well-coached side who will challenge us in different ways, and we know we'll need to bring intensity throughout the game,” said Borthwick.

“The atmosphere at Allianz Stadium last week was incredible. The players really fed off the energy in the stadium, and we're really looking forward to being back on Saturday.”

Following the Japan fixture, England take on New Zealand at Allianz Stadium in Round 6 before Finals Weekend from Friday, November 27 to Sunday, November 29.

England: Steward; Joseph, Slade, Ojomoh, Murley; Ford, Van Poortvliet; Genge, Cowan-Dickie, Opoku-Fordjour; Itoje (c), Martin; Coles, Earl, Pollock. Replacements: Dan, Iyogun, Heyes, Clark, Curry, Fisilau, McParland, M Smith
