Tom Youngs will make his England Test debut in Saturday’s Test against Fiji at Twickenham.
The Leicester hooker, who played twice in midweek during the summer tour of South Africa, will start alongside Joe Marler and Dan Cole as England kick off their four-Test autumn series.
His brother Ben will sit on the bench as the in-form Danny Care gets the nod at scrum-half and will partner Toby Flood to lead the attack.
Charlie Sharples and Ugo Monye will form the wing partnership as Chris Ashton is suspended and Ben Foden is injured. Saracens Alex Goode is starting at full-back with Harlequins Mike Brown named on the bench.
Brad Barritt will partner Manu Tulagi in the centre while Chris Robshaw will captain the side from openside with Tom Johnson and Thomas Waldrom next to him.
The second row sees the familiar faces of Tom Palmer and Geoff Parling as youngster Joe Launchbury should make his test debut from the bench and so will Saracens prop and former England U20 teammate Mako Vunipola.
England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: “This QBE International series will be a real marker of where we are as a squad. We are playing four back to back matches in four weeks against the top teams in the world and we are confident we can rise to the challenge. The foundations are in place, now it’s time for us to execute and deliver.
“Fiji is a good first Test for us and we can’t wait to play back at Twickenham. The atmosphere against Ireland back in March was superb and you can’t underestimate what it means to the players to have 82,000 people and the nation behind them.”
There are 16 uncapped players in Fiji’s squad highlighting their current phase of rebuilding and Fiji will be expecting tough task at Twickenham tomorrow.
The focus will be on Exeter’s Sireli Naqelevuki and Leicester’s Vereniki Goneva who will form a dangerous partnership in midfield.
Watisoni Votu, whose move to Exeter has been delayed over visa issues, starts on the left wing, while Samu Wara, is on the right.
Metuisela Talebula and Glasgow‘s Nicola Matawalu are the half-backs and Simeli Koniferedi wears 15.
Gloucester’s Akapusi Qera starts at No.8 after receiving a late call-up into the squad
