Preview...

England face Samoa in their final autumn international this year, with Eddie Jones’ side looking to make it nine wins from 10 matches to sign-off 2017 on a high and prepare for February’s Six Nations with momentum.

After victories over Argentina and Australia this month, England will hope to add the scalp of Samoa to their list of conquered opponents, with Jones winning 21 of his 22 matches in charge of the national team – the only blotch remaining the Six Nations defeat by Ireland.

With Samoa struggling both on and off the field, Jones has made plenty of changes to his side, with a number of fringe players coming in with the chance to impress. Captain Dylan Hartley is named among the replacements for the first time since November 2014, while Owen Farrell is rested completely for the second time in three matches.

Both Jamie George and Sam Simmonds make their first starts for England, the former ending a world record run of 19 consecutive Test appearances from the bench, whil Chris Robshaw and George Ford co-captain the side.

Samoa name the creative Chiefs back Tim Nanai-Williams at fly-half, while Northampton Saints full-back Ahsee Tuala is also named in the starting XV.

50 mins: Great work from Marler and Simmonds. The prop makes the big hit on Nanai-Williams, and Simmonds is onto the ball to win the penalty. England go to touch and have a lineout outside the 22.

51 mins: The driving maul is good, but as Care takes the ball out he's forced to work around his own pack and that allows the Samoan defence up to wrap-up Lozowski and win the scrum put-in when the ball is trapped.

[25 November 2017 16:19 · Jack de Menezes]

53 mins: Brown sends an up-and-under into the sky and it's not collected by anyone, allowing the full-back to hack forwards. Perez just gets the ball ahead of Brown and Samoa kick clear, and England try to counter as they spread left to Daly. However, Samoa turn the ball over and kick to touch. Rokoduguni goes quickly and England are off again!

54 mins: Rokoduguni does well to make the Samoan 22, but Ewels is immediately penalised for holding the defence and Samoa can clear.

By the way, north of the border Scotland are bout to beat Australia...53-24. What a result for the Scots that is!

[25 November 2017 16:26 · Jack de Menezes]

57 mins: A change for Samoa as loosehead prop Jordan Lay is replaced by James Lay - yep, that's his brother. England concede another penalty for closing the gap at the lineout, and Samoa free-kick to touch on the 10m line. England will look to attack from here.

[25 November 2017 16:27 · Jack de Menezes]

61 mins: TRY FOR ENGLAND!

[25 November 2017 16:32 · Jack de Menezes]

61 mins: England spread left as they sweep into the 22, with Williams - on for Cole - straightening nicely. That gives Elliot Daly space, and he dances inside two defenders to touch down with a lovely finish. Ford adds a lovely conversion to extend the lead to 29-7.

Jamie George and Charlie Ewels head off, and Dylan Hartley comes on along with Nick Isiekwe.

[25 November 2017 16:34 · Jack de Menezes]

66 mins: England get another driving maul set-up, but Samoa have done well to wrap the ball up and again it doesn't come out when it goes to ground.

[25 November 2017 16:37 · Jack de Menezes]

68 mins: England regain the ball and attack right, and a neat move from Ford and Francis releases Brown. He has Rokoduguni outside him unmarked, but takes contact and gets turned over in the process. A wasted chance.

[25 November 2017 16:38 · Jack de Menezes]

69 mins: Fa'asalele kills the ball stupidly and he's sent to the sin-bin as a result. England kick to touch, and the driving maul is unleashed again...TRY FOR ENGLAND!
