Fin Smith overtook George Ford in the fly-half pecking order during this year's Six Nations

ByMike HensonBBC Sport rugby union news reporter

Fly-half Fin Smith has recovered from a calf injury and will start for England in their opening Test of the autumn against Australia on Sunday.

Smith has started England's past five matches at 10, but was a doubt to face the Wallabies in the Nations Championship encounter after coming off late on in Northampton's defeat by Leicester on 24 October.
