Much-changed England told to ignore World Cup and put team first against Japan

England head coach Steve Borthwick has made 10 personnel and two positional changes to his side for Saturday's match against Eddie Jones's Japan, with only three players retained in the same positions from the Australia game. Rookies Will Joseph and Max Ojomoh earn starts at right wing and inside centre respectively, while Henry Pollock makes his second start at No 8 and Northampton scrum-half Archie McParland is set for a bench debut. Captain Maro Itoje has urged the World Cup hopefuls to prioritise team performance over individual auditions for next year's tournament.
