Daly is among six changes unveiled by the head coach, Steve Borthwick, who is backing the 33-year-old player to prolong his Test career for at least the next two years.

Daly has not played competitive rugby since breaking his arm against the Queensland Reds on the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia, but Borthwick has wasted no time reinstating him and believes the versatile Saracens three-quarter still has plenty of international rugby in him.

"I think he is in as good a shape as I have ever seen him," Borthwick said, having announced a reshuffled selection with Henry Slade, Ben Spencer, Asher Opoku-Fordjour, Ellis Genge and Luke Cowan-Dickie restored to the XV. "I think he hit close to his fastest speed ever the other day in training ... I've no doubt [about] the next couple of years until the World Cup. Somebody who reads the game as well as him can go beyond that.
