Steve Borthwick has named a much-changed England side to face Fiji on Saturday, aiming for an improved performance after their win against Australia last weekend.
Maro Itoje is on the bench for the first time in eight years, sharing co-captaincy with Ellis Genge, who will lead the run-on side.
Fin Smith and Marcus Smith will form a new play-making partnership, with Fin at fly-half and Marcus at full-back due to Freddie Steward's finger injury.
Chandler Cunningham-South starts at No 8, with Ben Earl reverting to flanker, and Ollie Lawrence comes into the centres following Tom Roebuck's injury.
Henry Arundell is set to make his first England appearance since the World Cup, having been named among the replacements.
