Saints stars keep their place for England's second Test against New Zealand

Backs Alex Mitchell, Tommy Freeman and George Furbank all retain their places in the starting line-up from last weekend's 16-15 defeat in Dunedin.

Ollie Sleightholme, who made his international debut last Saturday, holds onto the No. 23 shirt, with Saints team-mates Alex Coles and Fin Smith also named among the replacements.

England head coach Steve Borthwick said: “Eden Park is a stadium packed with history and with memories of great rugby encounters.

“We are delighted to be playing there this Saturday in what I anticipate will be another excellent Test encounter.

“New Zealand has a formidable record at this venue, but with that comes the pressure of expectation.

"It will be interesting to see how New Zealand manages that expectation in front of a full house.”

England’s final clash of the summer will be shown live on Sky Sports.
