England team named for opening Six Nations clash

Centre Ben Te'o has returned to the team for the game against Italy.

Te'o has been out since mid-October with an ankle issue and last played for England almost 12 months ago.

Te'o had been expected to miss the start of the Championship because of his injury, but has made a surprise return to fitness.

Te'o will partner Owen Farrell in the midfield, with Ben Youngs and George Ford at half-back and Jonny May, Anthony Watson and Mike Brown in the back three.Sam
