George Ford is set to start at fly-half for England in their opening Six Nations match against Italy. Fraser Dingwall is expected to debut at inside-centre, while Ethan Roots, former Maori All Blacks flanker, is also set to start. The No. 10 jersey is likely to be worn by Ford, with Fin Smith on the bench. Uncapped players Fin Smith, Chandler Cunningham-South, and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso are expected to be on the bench, while Ben Spencer and Alex Mitchell compete for the replacement scrum-half spot.
