# Rugby: George Ford has won the race to be England’s starting fly-half against Australia at Twickenham on Saturday. Fin Smith is on the bench and Marcus Smith was omitted from coach Steve Borthwick’s matchday-23 entirely. Ford, a veteran of 102 Tests for England, will continue in the number 10 shirt he wore throughout the recent tour of Argentina and the United States. Fin Smith, who was first choice during the Six Nations, missed that tour as he was involved in the British and Irish Lions’ 2-1 series win in Australia.
