Ben Youngs has been recalled to the England team for the third test in New Zealand this weekend and joins Leicester Tigers' summer recruit Freddie Burns at half-back.
Scrum-half Youngs and fly-half Burns replace the injured Danny Care and Owen Farrell for the last match of the tour, at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton.
Among the other changes in the team after last Saturday’s one-point defeat in the second Test, is a return to the outside centre berth for Manu Tuilagi, who wins his 25th cap.
Tuilagi, who was named on the wing last weekend, is joined at centre by Kyle Eastmond, who comes in for Billy Twelvetrees, with Chris Ashton recalled on the wing.
Geoff Parling is joined by Courtney Lawes in the second row and there are starts for Dylan Hartley and Billy Vunipola who take over from Rob Webber and Ben Morgan.
England head coach Stuart Lancaster said: “We want to finish the tour and the season on a high and we have a fantastic opportunity on Saturday. Our aim was to win a Test series and we are disappointed that we haven’t, but I am confident the players selected will go all out to achieve the win on Saturday.
"We have progressed as a squad during this tour and while there has been challenges with the end of season scheduling affecting selection it has been a great opportunity to work with a wider group of players and test many of them at the highest level in the build up to the World Cup.”
Kick-off on Saturday is a 7.35pm New Zealand time, 8.35am in the UK.
