LONDON (Reuters) - England's captain Owen Farrell will start at flyhalf, alongside a midfield duo of Ollie Lawrence and Henry Slade, when they begin the defence of their Six Nations title against Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday.

Coach Eddie Jones named his team on Thursday, moving Farrell from the inside centre position he has filled more regularly in England's more important recent games and dropping George Ford to the bench.
