LONDON (Reuters) - Scrumhalf Ben Spencer will get his first test match start, on his seventh appearance, after being named in the team on Tuesday for England's opening November series test against New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday.
Spencer, 32, has six caps off the bench, including the last few minutes of the 2019 World Cup final, and gets his chance after regular scrumhalf Alex Mitchell was ruled out of the series with injury. Harry Randall is the bench scrumhalf.
