Dan Cole, George Ford and Jonny May have all been named in the England side to play France in Paris on Saturday (kick-off 4.45pm).
Head coach Eddie Jones has made one change in the pack where Dylan Hartley has been ruled out through injury. Jamie George comes in to start with Luke Cowan-Dickie the replacement hooker.
Owen Farrell will captain the side with his Saracens team-mate Mako Vunipola named as vice-captain.
Ben Te’o will start at outside centre with Elliot Daly returning on the left wing. Anthony Watson moves from right wing to fullback with Jonny May switching wings.
There are six changes among the replacements including Cowan-Dickie, Mike Brown, James Haskell, Jonathan Joseph, Sam Simmonds and Kyle Sinckler.
Jones said: “This game is about the opportunity for the team to move forward and we want a response from the players this week.
“Against France we want to be brutal and aggressive on the gain line and to play with a great tactical discipline.”
