New Look England Team Announced

November 4th, 2008 by George Prior

New England Boss, Martin Johnson has recently confirmed that he will be handing starting roles to four of the lesser experienced squad members. Nick Kennedy ,Delon Armitage, Riki Flutey and Ugo Monye are all set to make their debuts after being named in the starting fifteen  facing the Pacific Islanders this Saturday (8th November).

The game will be the first competitive match with Martin Johnson at the helm so it is a debut of a different kind for the former World Cup winning captain. The move to include four uncapped players is a clear statement from Johnson that he intends to bring a breath of fresh air to the side. Fans will be eager to see how the side fares under his stewardship.

Following the clash with the Pacific Islanders come three much tougher tests as England face Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

Hundreds of tickets are still available for the forthcoming Autumn International series.
