Ben Spencer is set to make his first start for England against New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday, stepping in for the injured Alex Mitchell. Head coach Steve Borthwick has made the bold move of announcing his lineup two days ahead of the match, signaling his intent to challenge the All Blacks. In addition to Spencer, Tom Curry will also return to the starting XV for the first time in a year, while Henry Slade is set to play at outside centre despite having made only one appearance for his club this season.
