Dan Hipkiss wins his first England cap at centre, while club skipper Martin Corry is named on the blindside flank. Lewis Moody and George Chuter are on the bench as national coach Ashton enters the final period of preparations with the first of three warm-up games before selecting his 30-man squad for the World Cup.
Corry said: "These games are huge from a team's perspective but, uniquely, the importance for an individual in them rises as well."
