Bath Rugby’s Joe Cokanasiga will make his England Test debut against Japan at Twickenham on Saturday weekend after a stellar start to his Heineken Champions Cup campaign.

Cokanasiga is among a Bath trio in the England XV, with No. 8 Zach Mercer making his first Test start and lock Charlie Ewels winning his ninth cap.
