LONDON (Reuters) - Anthony Watson will replace injured Bath team mate Jonathan Joseph on the wing in the Nations Cup final on Sunday as the most experienced England team ever to take the field face a France side boasting only 68 caps between them.

Watson, who overcame his own injury to start on the bench against Wales, came on for Joseph when he suffered a calf injury early in the second half of that 24-13 win in Llanelli. His inclusion is the only change from that match.
