Fiji Born and Bath winger 21‑year‑old Joe Cokanasiga will make his England debut against Japan as head coach Eddie Jones makes sweeping changes from the side that lost narrowly to New Zealand.

Cokanasiga is one of 11 changes in the team.

Cokanasiga was born in Suva but moved to England as a three‑year‑old and was part of the under‑20 side that won a Grand Slam in their age‑grade Six Nations in 2017.

Cokanasiga was part of the under‑20 side that won a Grand Slam in their age‑grade Six Nations last year

He scored four tries in 20 league appearances last season as part of London Irish's unsuccessful fight against Premiership relegation before signing a contract with Bath in the summer.

England will face Japan at 4am this Sunday.
