Topsy Ojo starts in a back three against New Zealand

Topsy Ojo will make his official international rugby union debut for England in Saturday's Test against New Zealand in Auckland.

The former pupil of Dartford Grammar School, who plys his trade as a centre for London Irish in the Guinness Premiership, starts in a back three alongside Mike Brown and David Strettle.

Ojo learnt the game at the West Hill school and has played for Kent Schools, England under-18s and under-19s before appearing in the 17-14 international friendly win over the Barbarians at Twickenham on May 30 - this did not count as a full international, making this weekend's clash against the All Blacks a historic moment for the 22-year-old.

England play a second Test against New Zealand in Christchurch on June 21.
