LONDON (Reuters) - Ben Te'o will make his first international start after being named at outside centre for England in Sunday's Six Nations clash against Italy at Twickenham, one of four changes to the team who beat Wales two weeks ago.

Te'o looked impressive off the bench in England's tournament opening victories over France, in which he scored the match-winning try, and Wales, and was handed a debut start by coach Eddie Jones on Friday after earning five caps as a replacement.
