The dynamic 21-year-old Northampton forward has seven caps from the bench and will start at No.8, with Tom Curry coming in at blindside flanker. Ben Earl moves to openside in a highly mobile back row.
Ollie Lawrence starts at outside centre with Tommy Freeman moving to the right wing in place of Tom Roebuck. Henry Arundell keeps his place on the left wing after being cleared to play following his red card in the 31-20 Murrayfield defeat that ended England’s 12-game winning run.
