Rugby Union Betting - England Announce Squad Changes

Three changes to the England rugby team have been announced ahead of this Saturday's Investec Challenge international against New Zealand at Twickenham.

Louis Deacon steps down from the starting line-up to make way for London Wasps lock Simon Shaw.

At the age of 36, he claims his 53rd England cap as a result of the switch.

Meanwhile, Tom Croft makes way for Joe Worsley and Ayoola Erinle gains his first England cap as he replaces Shane Geraghty.

Full backs Ugo Monye and Mark Cueto remain in the starting team, but swap positions for the upcoming fixture.

Mathew Tait joins the 22-strong team for his first outing of the autumn, while the three who have left the starting line-up all remain on the bench.

New Zealand's odds of taking the win continue to shorten in some places, at 1/12 on Victor Chandler(Go to VCBet »).
