LONDON (Reuters) - Marcus Smith will start at flyhalf for England against Australia on Saturday, with captain Owen Farrell returning at inside centre and Manu Tuilagi getting a rare outing on the wing as Eddie Jones has found a creative answer to his centre conundrum.

With Farrell returning after missing last week's 69-3 win over Tonga it was widely expected that he would slot in at 12 alongside playmaker Smith.
