Middleton told englandrugby.com: "Our priority is to win the series and keep our winning momentum going from last season. With selection we said from the outset we would pick on form, selecting players who are playing outstandingly well for their clubs. It’s a strong blend of youth and experience."

Chichester RFC will be showing the game live at their Oaklands Pavilion.
