George Ford, Jack Nowell recalled by England for second Australia Test

George Ford and Jack Nowell are set to return to the England starting XV for Saturday's second Test against Australia in Melbourne.

England have made two changes for their second Test against Australia, with George Ford replacing Luther Burrell and Jack Nowell coming in on the wing for Marland Yarde.

Ford, who played a pivotal role as England fought back to clinch the first Test 39-28 in Brisbane, starts at number 10, with Owen Farrell moving to inside-centre and Burrell dropping out.

England coach Eddie Jones, explaining his starting XV selection, told reporters: "We weren't satisfied with last weekend's performance and we know there's lots to improve on. We know the job isn't done. We came here to win a Test series and that's what we intend to do."

The second Test takes place in Melbourne on Saturday June 18.
