The injury toll deepens making England reshuffle the team

The England summer test series against Australia is going with both teams heading into the final test with a win apiece. Eddie Jones's men have all recovered from a humbling opening loss to Australia with the convincing 25-17 victory in Brisbane to level the series. Starting lineup was rejigged a fair bit following the 30-28 loss in Perth, but it isn't easy to see the same happening this week after the newcomers to first XV impressed and helped England to steer to the much-needed victory. Javk Van Poortvliet has come off the bench to win the maiden England cap during last week and he impressed as a starter yesterday. The same goes for Tommy Freeman who made his Test debut in Brisbane and was not afraid of the spectacle ahead of him. Both of the younger will likely feature one more time in the Jones' starting lineup, along with Henry Arundell and London Irish, preferred as a finished off the bench. Marcus Smith and Owen Farrel are the proverbial heart of the England backline with the space alongside them open at the outside center. Guy Porter really shows his strength in the midfield and he could keep his position after performing well on his debut. The backbone will remain unchanged before the weekend but the pack will definitely be reshuffled.
